UPDATE:

The order has been signed.

Fox News:

Making good on a campaign promise, President Trump on Monday signed an executive order withdrawing the United States from the controversial Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal.

He also signed two other orders — one placing a hiring freeze on some federal workers and the other reinstating a ban on funding for international groups that perform abortions.

The TPP, a giant and semi-secret 12-member free-trade agreement advocated by the Obama administration, aimed to deepen economic ties between the U.S. and 11 other Pacific Rim nations, cut taxes and foster trade to boost economic growth in the process.

“We’ve been talking about this for a long time,” Trump said, as he signed the document. He called the order to pull out of TPP a “great thing for the American worker.”

Trump argued on the campaign trail that the TPP is harmful to U.S. workers and robs the manufacturing sector.

“We’re going to have trades but we’re going to have one on one…if somebody misbehaves we will send a letter and they’ll have 30 days to work it out,” Trump said.

That’s how we do it, fam.

What is going to happen if he really does everything he said he was going to do, I wonder?

Because it is looking like that may well happen.

Fox News:

President Trump is set to kick off his first full ‘work day’ in the White House by signing an executive order withdrawing the United States from a controversial Pacific-nation trade deal, Fox News is told.

The president is expected to sign an order taking the U.S. out of the Trans Pacific Partnership agreement, which he railed against during the campaign and which Hillary Clinton previously supported before distancing herself from the deal.

The executive order, and possibly others, are being signed after a weekend of introductory meetings and perfunctory duties marking the transfer of power.

Trump has said he considers Monday his first real day in the office.

Bracketing the order-signing on Monday are a host of meetings at the White House, including a listening session with business leaders, another one with union leaders and later a reception with congressional leaders from both parties.

He’ll also hold his first meeting as president with the speaker of the House, Paul Ryan.

“Busy week planned with a heavy focus on jobs and national security,” Trump tweeted early Monday. “Top executives coming in at 9:00 A.M. to talk manufacturing in America.”

In his early-morning meeting with business leaders, Trump said he would impose a “substantial border tax” on companies that move their manufacturing out of the United States, while promising unspecified advantages to companies that manufacture domestically.

“All you have to do is stay,” he said during a morning meeting in the White House’s Roosevelt Room.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk and Marillyn Hewson of Lockheed Martin were among the executives who attended the meeting.

Trump also announced that he’s set up meetings with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto.

“We’re going to start some negotiations having to do with NAFTA,” he said of his meeting with Pena Nieto. Mexico is part of the free trade agreement with the U.S. and Canada. Trump said he also will discuss immigration and security at the border. He has promised to build a wall along the length of the southern border and insisted that Mexico will pay for it.

His chief of staff, Reince Priebus, said on “Fox News Sunday” the president would spend his first full week in office undoing some of Obama’s agenda and planned to sign executive orders on immigration and trade.

So, Obamacare is out, TPP is out.

I’d like to get that executive order to build the wall by the end of the week.
