In April, administration officials vowed to sign trade deals with as many as 90 countries in 90 days. The ambitious target came after Mr. Trump announced, and then rolled back a portion of, steep tariffs that in some cases meant import taxes cost more than the wholesale price of a good itself.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -White House economic adviser Kevin Hassett said on Thursday three trade deals were nearly done and he expected more despite a trade court ruling that blocked most of President Donald Trump's tariffs.

A set of new international trade deals could be in place over the next several weeks even as the White House continues to adjust tariff levels, Council of Economic Advisers Chairman Stephen Miran said Wednesday.
