I am not sure where is the miscommunication. I didn’t say the deal is imminent, and deals typically take much longer time… instead US and Trump needs a deal before the 90 day window. Also, I mentioned " the process is going to up and down, noisy".
Many countries finance ministers are/ were in DC recently. I am sure US administration and the countries have either formally, informally talked given the tariff situation. So, Trump could be telling half truths. Trump was very cautious in his statements. Read those statements as jaw-boning the market sentiment and not an assurance or an indicator that a deal is going to be signed any moment.
