The European Union and South Korea have pledged to buy billions of dollars’ worth of energy products under trade deals with the Trump administration, as the White House aims to capitalize on the role of the U.

Social media posts have recirculated an old video of US President Donald Trump and falsely presented it as depicting him calling South Korean leader Lee Jae Myung a "bad negotiator" after their countries agreed a trade deal.

The agreement comes after other American allies, like Japan, clinched their own deals, partly to moderate President Trump’s tariff threats.
