(EPA photo)WASHINGTON - US President Donald Trump will sign an executive order on Saturday seeking to identify any problems caused by the nation's existing trade agreements, including an examination of US involvement in the World Trade Organization (WTO), a top trade official said. "There's always the potential for amending organisation's charters like the WTO, particularly when you're in the position we are," he said. Remaking US trade relations has been a top priority for Trump, who has argued that the United States has been treated unfairly in international trade. Last month, Trump also issued an order calling for a major review of the causes of all US trade deficits.
