President Donald Trump says that the revised free trade agreement(FTA) between the U.S. and South Korea is a "wonderful deal" for both countries. 

Trump made the remarks on Thursday during a speech at a groundbreaking ceremony for a factory of Taiwanese manufacturer Foxconn Technology Group in Wisconsin. 

Criticizing the original agreement, Trump said that the U.S. renegotiated the deal and it is subject to signing, adding he always says "subject to signing" because a lot of things happen.

Trump called the original agreement "not a good deal," saying that then Secretary of State Hilary Clinton promised 250-thousand jobs in the U.S., but that they all ended up in Korea. 

The U.S. and South Korea agreed on the terms of the revision of the FTA in March, but have yet to sign the revised deal.
