President Trump says that on Wednesday morning he'll release multiple countries regarding trade, starting with seven of them on Wednesday morning, followed by more in the afternoon.

"We will be releasing a minimum of 7 Countries having to do with trade, tomorrow morning, with an additional number of Countries being released in the afternoon. Thank you for your attention to this matter!" Trump posted on Truth Social on Tuesday night.

Trump didn't clarify what he meant by releasing the countries regarding trade.

The announcement teaser comes after Trump sent letters to several countries, informing them of the tariffs that will be placed on their exports to the U.S. in August if they do not negotiate trade deals.
