Trump announced on his social media platform that they have finalized a trade agreement, indicating that the Philippines would transition to an open market with the U.S. while maintaining a tariff of 19 percent on their goods.

GlobalTradeWatch - 19% tariff? That's hardly "open market." Smells like a protectionist deal in disguise.

TradeNegotiator - "Finalized trade agreement" with sketchy details? Someone's not negotiating in good faith. What are they hiding?
