Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT: There is likely no trade deal with Japan.

There's no agreement to review. No text. Even in this article, the author notes that Japan hasn't even confirmed the existence of an agreement.

So why report that there's a trade deal if we know Trump lies and there's no agreement?

When is he not lying?

Allowing Krasnov to announce lies about trade deals he doesn’t have. It’s all just bullshit.

But they just go along with his pronouncements as facts, then later on find out there was no substance. This has happened repeatedly and they still hold out hope that he isn’t lying.
