Commerce Secretary Lutnick says next two weeks will be "for the record books" as Trump presses for tariff deals

Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick expressed confidence Sunday that the Trump administration will cut trade deals with key U.S. trading partners in the coming weeks — before steep tariffs kick in for dozens of countries.

"The next two weeks are going to be weeks for the record books. President Trump is going to deliver for the American people," Lutnick said on "Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan."

The president sent letters this month to 25 trading partners — including Canada, Mexico and the European Union — telling them to expect higher tariffs starting Aug. 1 unless they make a deal. The administration has pressed countries for months to negotiate trade agreements with the U.S., but only a handful of deals have been formally announced so far — and CBS News polling released Sunday showed 61% of Americans believe the administration is too focused on tariffs.
