Those kinds of deals will not have been made in a few weeks, despite what Trump's administration says. They would have negotiated every single detail of the deal, and they are likely to have taken months, not weeks.

As Mick says, what we are told is not necessarily the truth. That runs true for the media, and it also runs true for the Trump Administration who have famously contradicted themselves, and established history in what they have stated. They have also shown they have a frankly frightening habit of banning the media outlets who disagree with them rather than ignoring them. Hitler's government started that way.

For democracy to work, we need a media that is free to question the incumbent administration.

Does Trump give a toss about democracy? TBH, I think as long as he is in power, he doesn't give a toss about anything else.
