That would be Trump who screws everyone-even to the point of stealing millions in charity donations, and using that money for self-promotion. Deny it, I dare you.It's not much of a friendship when the friend is the one screwing you.
Which "problematic" arrangements? Those which Trump personally found distasteful because his nemesis, Obama, put them in place?The US never disengaged from that. We withdrew from some really problematic arrangements, and that's been very positive. Hopefully we can 're-engage' some of the partners we've alienated to an extent, but NOT get back into the plan of engaging in agreements that place greater limitations on us while simply costing us.
A reasonable agreement from the Trump administration?
Some would call any Trump agreement sacrilege!
(You know who you are)
Trump, in spite of his many personal faults and failings, appears to have known how to strike a deal; a deal where US interests were servers, yet the partner would also have some gain.
Or am I reading this wrong?

And Trump does these things without a moment's pause for thought. His equally odious daddy taught him well.I guess those children with cancer didn't need the donations as much as Trump needed a painting of himself.

Only in LW mega-cult cathecism
I didn't say he was perfect - he's far from it. He didn't 'disengage' as you highlighted. He was disruptive in some areas - and disruption (change) can often end up being a good thing. From a diplomatic effort standpoint - we need to back out of being the guy everyone invites out to dinner because he puts the meal on his credit card. We need to be more than a source of funding or troops.Trump insulted allies such as Canada on a regular basis. He treated NATO allies very badly. He attempted to all but extort enormous payment increases from allies such as South Korea, even as South Korea faces a grave threat from North Korea. He abandoned Syria’s Kurds who had played a pivotal role in helping defeat ISIS. He imposed protectionist tariffs on allies. He withdrew the United States from the Paris Climate Accord. He withdrew the United States from the World Health Organization during a rapidly rising pandemic. He abandoned the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) Agreement.
For one example of his mistreatment of allies, CNN reported:
Trump is demanding that South Korea pay roughly 400% more in 2020 to cover the cost of keeping US troops on the peninsula, a congressional aide and an administration official confirmed to CNN.
The price hike has frustrated Pentagon officials and deeply concerned Republican and Democratic lawmakers, according to military officials and congressional aides. It has angered and unnerved Seoul, where leaders are questioning US commitment to their alliance and wondering whether Trump will pull US forces if they don’t pay up.
Overall, President Trump was a geopolitically disruptive force.
Nope. Paris accords was the best example, along with TPP. Not to mention the arrangement with Iran.Which "problematic" arrangements? Those which Trump personally found distasteful because his nemesis, Obama, put them in place?
The anti-Obama: Trump's drive to destroy his predecessor's legacy
From the Iran deal to TPP to climate change, ‘the whole thing that animates and unites his policy views is antipathy towards Obama’www.theguardian.com
he had better watch out Putin will get up set with him ,He has a man-crush on Trudeau.
What "arrangement" with Iran? The one Trump reneged on giving Iran the green light to develop nukes? That was a genius move. The Paris accords? Why would you have a problem with a cleaner, less polluted world? TPP? Again, another good deal for everyone. But it was Obama's deal therefore had to go-along with every other good thing he did-and you know why? Because the petulant little child you elected can't get over the ribbing he got from Obama at the White House correspondent's dinner. That's the measure of the sad, insecure and vindictive little prick.Nope. Paris accords was the best example, along with TPP. Not to mention the arrangement with Iran.
We withdrew.... because it was a bad deal. The one where Obama gave Iran the green light to develop nukes down the road. The one that critics said Iran would follow as long as it was convenient... which is what happened.What "arrangement" with Iran? The one Trump reneged on giving Iran the green light to develop nukes?

Utter nonsense. The IAEA confirmed that Iran was in compliance with the deal. There are two sides to every deal; if Trump reneged why should Iran continue to comply with a deal which took years of protracted negotiation to finalise? Trump ****ed up, as usual, like he ****s up everything he touches, and gave Iran yet another reason not to trust American duplicity. 'The Art of the Deal-or How I stole Millions from my own Charity''? More like 'The Art of the Screw-up'.We withdrew.... because it was a bad deal.

They may have been able to develop nukes " Down the road" but when Trump pulled out it let them start developing nukes right away, they didn't have to wait for any " Down the road " stuffWe withdrew.... because it was a bad deal.

They were racing to exceed the limits when we withdrew. And, as I pointed out, when they were ready to move past the limits, they did.Utter nonsense.

No, Iran blew past the limits when they were ready - despite assurances that they were 'remaining in the deal' with the other partners. They never stopped development.They may have been able to develop nukes " Down the road" but when Trump pulled out it let them start developing nukes right away, they didn't have to wait for any " Down the road " stuff
and wasn't Trump suppose to have some type of agreement with N.K. not to be developing nukes too ?
and we can see how that is working out
Have a nice day
Yeah, that adds up.I think there's a general feeling that NAFTA did need to be updated. As for Trump's influence I think he got the ball rolling but like most things didn't get into the details much. The negotiators though knew their stuff and were able to arrive at something both sides could live with.
Nah, FauxJoe has a thing for Asians. Xi jinping is more his style.he had better watch out Putin will get up set with him ,
Putin and him were suppose to be a couple
Have a nice day
YEP. it is OK for Trump to lie to us again , didn't he say he had an agreement with Xi that the NK wouldn't be testing Nukes?Nah, FauxJoe has a thing for Asians. Xi jinping is more his style.
That's absolutely true.
And that's why we should never believe Biden when he tells us he wants the US to support our "friends". We should be asking him what his "interests" are.
Not at all. That situation was resolved some time ago. If Biden isn't prepared, it's his own fault.Wonder just how hamstrung Trump will leave Biden seeing he has been hampering the transition of power, and hasn't been giving Biden's people the help or info they will need to do their jobs.
and it is a fact there usually is somebody out there that does something with in the first 4 or 5 months to see just how the new President will react
Have a nice afternoon
