That’s not how language works, sorry. Humans are able to communicate using language because language has agreed definitions of terms. ‘Trade deal’ and ‘memorandum of understanding’ are entirely different things. The former creates a set of rules. The latter expresses a set of wishes and aspirations. The former is enforceable. The latter is not even intended to be enforced.

A memorandum of understanding does not magically become a trade deal when the parties to it choose to honour each other’s wishes, any more than your mum’s Corsa becomes a McLaren F1 just because you took it on a track day at Silverstone.
I don’t indulge in pedantry, Chris. You just love this, don’t you?
