Fact check: Trump a négiere 50 ententes depuis janvier

1. Summary of the results

The original statement claiming Trump "négiere 50 ententes" (negotiated 50 agreements) is inaccurate in multiple ways. Trump has signed 89 presidential decrees since January 20, 2025 ^[1], but these are not the same as negotiated agreements. In terms of actual international agreements, Trump has primarily been withdrawing from existing agreements rather than negotiating new ones ^[2]. His ambitious goal of negotiating 90 trade deals in 90 days has largely failed, with only one framework agreement with Britain achieved so far ^[3].

2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints

Several crucial pieces of context are missing from the original statement:

• Trump has actually been dismantling international cooperation through multiple actions, including:

Withdrawing from the Paris Climate Agreement

Halting US development aid

Drastically reducing USAID staff from 14,000 to 294 employees ^[2]

• The **reality of trade negotiations** is being overlooked:

Trade deals typically take 917 days (2.5 years) to complete

Only 18 written proposals have been received from trading partners ^[4]

Major trading partners including China, EU, Canada, Mexico, Japan, and South Korea are struggling to find common ground ^[5]

3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement

The statement appears to conflate different types of executive actions:

• Presidential decrees (89 signed) are being confused with international agreements ^[1]
• The term "négiere" (negotiated) implies successful two-way agreements, when in reality:

Most actions have been unilateral withdrawals ^[2]

There is "scant evidence of progress" in actual negotiations ^[4]

• The only achievement is a framework agreement with Britain, not a comprehensive deal ^[3]

This mischaracterization could benefit:

• Trump supporters who want to portray his administration as highly productive
• Critics of international cooperation who support isolationist policies
• Media outlets seeking to simplify complex diplomatic processes

The reality is that Trump's international policy actions have been primarily unilateral and withdrawing from existing agreements rather than negotiating new ones ^[6].
