There was a bit of an awkward moment at the White House today when President Trump accidentally forgot to sign two executive orders on trade during the signing ceremony.

Trump announced the signing of one executive order that would “ensure that we fully collect all duties imposed on foreign importers that cheat,” and another that would conduct a “comprehensive review of America’s trade deficits and all violations of trade rules that harm the United States and the workers of the United States.”

However, he accidentally forgot to sign them:
