India, July 6 -- With United States President Donald Trump's self-imposed deadline to reach trade deals with countries before the 'reciprocal' tariffs kick in approaching, a source inside the White House has made a big claim.

The source, who is familiar with the trade talks, told Politico that the tariff threats and the talks surrounding it are "all fake". On the condition of anonymity, the insider said, "There's no deadline. It's a self-imposed landmark in this theatrical show, and that's where we are."

The person further claimed that Trump knew the "most interesting part of his presidency is the tariff conversation", adding that he would not let that go "easily".
