President Trump on Friday walked out of a ceremony to sign two executive orders on international trade before he signed them.
After Vice President Mike Pence concluded delivering remarks, Trump thanked the media in attendance and began walking out of the Oval Office. As Trump made his way through the door, Pence seemed to remember Trump had not signed off on the orders and rushed to the president. Trump waved and pointed toward himself and continued on his way out.

Pence then ran over to Trump’s desk and grabbed the orders and walked out of the room with the other officials in attendance, including Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross.
A White House official told the Associated Press that Trump signed the executive orders later.
