During a joint press conference with French President Emmanuel Macron in France, Trump indicated his potential absence, stating, "Pence will handle this matter, and I will likely have already left by then."

This indicates that the highest level of U.S. approval for the deal has been completed, even if Trump does not attend the physical signing ceremony.
