Trump says he is open to extending trade deal deadline for other countries: 'I would'

President Donald Trump said Wednesday he was willing to extend the deadline for countries to reach a trade deal with the United States, but he doesn't think it will be necessary.

At the same time, he also indicated that in one to two weeks his administration would be sending out letters telling countries "what the deal is." 

Trump made the remarks ahead of a performance of "Les Misérables" that he attended at the Kennedy Center in Washington with the first lady.
