Donald Trump criticised trade deal with Canada and Mexico but seems to have forgotten who actually signed it

Donald Trump has been questioned by social media users after he queried who had signed a trade deal with Canada and Mexico.

During a press conference with the French president Emmanuel Macron on Monday (24 February) Trump spoke about trade tariffs between the US and Mexico and Canada.

In response, Trump said: "I mean who can blame if they made these great deals with the United States, took advantage of the United States on manufacturing, on just about everything - every aspect that you could imagine they took advantage of.

"I look at some of these agreements and I say who would ever sign a thing like this? The tariffs will go forward, yes. We’ll make up a lot of territory. Our country will be liquid and rich again."

People on social media were confused, however, claiming it was Trump himself who had negotiated to replace the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) with the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) back in 2020.

In a clip on Twitter, community notes added to the tweet included a link to The White House archives, with a press release relating to the deal.

“'Who would ever sign a thing like this?' - the guy who signed the thing," one person wrote.

While another added: "You literally renegotiated NAFTA! You signed 'a thing like this'."

Tyla has reached out to The White House for further clarification.

Elsewhere during the press conference, fans spotted a rather concerning detail in a recent photograph of the president.

The pair shook hands several times during their meeting, which lead a number of Trump fans to notice something concerning about the president's hand.

Many people have commented on the 'bruise' which appears to be located on the back of Trump's hand, and the alleged make-up that's been used to cover it.

One person wrote on Twitter: "Scrolling Getty and couldn't help but notice this photo of a huge bruise on Trump's hand today."

While another said: "Some photos over the last few months show bruising on Trump's hand... Always seems to be on the same hand."

Over on Getty Images, a photograph of the bruise is described as being 'covered in make-up'.

"Makeup covers a bruise on the back of U.S. President Donald Trump's hand as he hosts French President Emmanuel Macron for meetings at the White House," the description reads.

It's not clear what the bruise is related to, but it has been spotted on Trump's hand before and in previous images of the president.
