(EPA photo)WASHINGTON:US President Donald Trump will sign an executive order on Saturday seeking to identify any problems caused by his country's existing trade agreements, including an examination of US involvement in the World Trade Organization (WTO), a top trade official said. Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross said his department would work to issue a report in 180 days outlining challenges with these trade deals and possible solutions. 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.
