Trade orders set stage for revival: Trump

US President Donald Trump has directed his administration to review US trade deficits and clamp down on countries that abuse trade rules.

Trump signed two new executive orders on Friday, saying they would start a new chapter for US workers and businesses.

"Today I'm signing two executive orders that send this message loud and clear, and that set the stage for a great revival of American manufacturing," he said in the Oval Office.

"We're going to get these bad trade deals straightened out."
