WASHINGTON (Reuters) -- The U.S. has asked countries to make their best offers on trade negotiations by Wednesday, White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt said on Tuesday, as U.S. officials ramp up efforts to deliver multiple agreements to President Donald Trump before a self-imposed deadline just five weeks away.

Leavitt's comments confirm a report by Reuters on Monday that the Trump administration was asking countries to list their best proposals in a number of key areas, including tariff and quota offers for purchase of U.S. industrial and agricultural products and plans to remedy any non-tariff barriers.
