How are trade deals actually negotiated?

Trade negotiators are under increased pressure as President Donald Trump pushes for new trade deals with higher tariffs as leverage. Former trade negotiators explain that Trump's approach has made negotiations more combative and defensive, compared to traditional positive and collaborative processes. Negotiators appoint teams for specific negotiation topics like tariffs and regulation, working towards mutual agreements that can take years to finalize. Building trust and managing internal and external dynamics are key elements in successful trade negotiations, according to experienced negotiators.
