Recently, U.S. President Trump claimed that 200 tariff agreements had been reached. On the "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" program on April 29 local time, the host mocked this statement.
The host introduced that in order to celebrate his first 100 days in office, Trump accepted an interview with TIME magazine. In response to the reporter's doubt of "no tariff agreement has been reached with any other country at present", Trump claimed that "we are meeting with China. We get along well with many countries. But ultimately, I have reached all the agreements." Trump also said that 100% of the 200 agreements had been reached.
"No one believes it," the host directly said, "200 agreements mean that Trump has reached trade agreements with all 195 countries in the world, plus five additional trade agreements."
He imitated Trump's voice and said, "This is true, this is the art of deal-making. I have made agreements with Wakanda (a fictional African country in Marvel Comics), Narnia (the mysterious world in 'The Chronicles of Narnia' novels), McDonaldland, East Korea, and did a very tough deal with Princess Genevieve (from the movie 'The Princess Diaries')."
