Leavett said:
“There is a lot of progress being made. We now have 18 proposals on paper that have been brought to the trade team. Again, these are proposals on paper that countries have proposed to the Trump administration and to our government.”

We are moving at Trump speed to ensure these deals are made on behalf of the American worker and the American people.”
“That is a big deal. We know when we look at the numbers, the monetary trade barriers and the nonmonetary trade barriers from India, they have been ripping off the United States and American workers for a very long time.”
“So the fact that the Vice President, with Prime Minister Modi on that trip in India, announced these terms of reference, which is essentially a framework to move the ball forward to sign a good trade deal between our two nations, is great progress.”
"We're doing very well in respect to a potential trade deal with China," says @PressSec.
"We feel everyone involved wants to see a trade deal happen — and the ball is moving in the right direction." pic.twitter.com/GfsGBOzaWJ

“I asked the President about this before coming out here, and he wanted me to share with all of you that we’re doing very well in respect to a potential trade deal with China.”
