He said this in respect to the recent gentleman's handshake deal between the US administration and China over trade – A Phase-1 trade deal that had not been officially signed into a contract and thus leaving the door wide-open for it to be revoked by either side.
However, it is a form of progress and a deal which Trump has been vocal of recent days, saying how well talks have been going and how confident he is that a deal will be signed as soon as next month to open the way for further negotiations in phase-2 deal.
