The United States and South Korea have signed a revised free-trade deal, which President Donald Trump says includes significant improvements that will reduce the U.S. trade deficit with South Korea and widen opportunities for American exporters.

“It’s a very big deal. This is a great day for the United States and a great day for South Korea,” Trump said on Sept. 24, during the signing ceremony with South Korean President Moon Jae-in at the Lotte New York Palace in New York City.
