President Donald Trump on Monday will sign an executive order withdrawing the United States from the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) trade agreement, according to CNBC and CNN.

It’s expected that withdrawing from TPP will be the first executive order Trump signs Monday morning, CNN reported, citing an unnamed senior White House official.

Trump will also sign an order to start the process of renegotiating the North America Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), according to CNBC. Trump railed against both trade agreements during his campaign.

Trump is scheduled to sign executive orders at 11 a.m. ET Monday morning.
