Facing Questions About Flynn, Trump Flees Oval Office Before Signing Ex. Orders

HeadlineApr 03, 2017

President Trump dodged questions from a reporter about Michael Flynn by fleeing the Oval Office Friday afternoon during what was supposed to be a signing ceremony of two executive orders on trade. As Trump departed, Vice President Mike Pence gathered up the unsigned papers. Trump later signed the orders in private, away from reporters. The two orders establish a commission to study the causes of U.S. trade deficits, and tighten laws that restrict foreign manufacturers from undercutting the prices of U.S. goods.
