Fact Check
The provided sources overwhelmingly support the truthfulness of the statement. There is a high degree of consistency across multiple, high-authority sources providing direct evidence. Several news organizations, including Politico, ABC News, and NBC News, provide direct primary source quotes from Donald Trump where he explicitly discusses the proximity of a trade deal. For instance, he is quoted as saying "I think we're very close" to a deal with South Korea and that the U.S. and China were "close to [a] trade deal." These statements directly address the "possibility of signing a trade deal" on the day they were made.Furthermore, the evidence goes beyond just statements about possibilities. An official press release from the U.S. Trade Representative's office confirms that President Trump "secured new trade agreements on the day of the release." This official government confirmation strongly implies a corresponding public statement was made. Most compellingly, a direct video source shows President Trump participating in a signing ceremony for a trade agreement. Such an event would inherently include statements from the President about the deal being signed.There are no contradictions in the evidence provided. While some sources have lower relevance, none of them refute the claim. The cumulative weight of direct quotes, official government confirmation, and video evidence from multiple credible sources makes it highly probable that the statement is true.
