The video was published by White House Deputy Chief of Staff Dan Scavino after Trump left Versailles.
"Shortly before tonight's dinner in Versailles, France, hosted by President Emmanuel Macron, President Donald Trump signed the Memorandum of Understanding with Iran," Scavino announced.
After the signing, the US sent a photograph of the signed document to the Iranians, an American official told CNN.
The memorandum of understanding was also signed this Wednesday by the president of Iran, Masoud Pezeshkian.
According to Pakistan, which has played a mediating role in negotiations between the US and Iran, the interim agreement came into force immediately.
"As a first step, the Islamic Republic of Iran will immediately reopen the Strait of Hormuz and the United States of America will immediately lift the naval blockade," said Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif.
Before that, American Vice President JD Vance and Iran's chief negotiator Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf had signed the memorandum digitally on Sunday.
In addition to the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, and the end of the US blockade of Iranian ports, the text of the agreement states that Iran will not "acquire or develop" nuclear weapons. In return, the Americans must issue licenses that will allow Iran to export oil, in addition to creating a $300 billion reconstruction fund for the country.
