Jan 21, 2019 at 21:39 comment added reirab @user4951 Because the majority of lawmakers did not, in fact, agree to the benefits of the deal. And also because it wasn't a formal treaty in the first place.
Jan 21, 2019 at 21:27 comment added user4951 @reirab why the deal wasn't ratified by the US Senate?
Oct 22, 2018 at 11:49 comment added CodingMage @xyious - Trump does listen to his advisors, but he has appointed some appalling figures on those positions. (e.g. Bolton, Navarro, Miller). They're just mimics of his beliefs.
May 10, 2018 at 19:00 comment added reirab [citation needed] in regards to "the majority of lawmakers... agree to the benefits of the deal." There's a reason the deal was never ratified as an actual treaty by the U.S. Senate in the first place.
May 10, 2018 at 16:00 comment added xyious Not necessarily. While the average EU citizen will likely not make a distinction between "Trump", "The US Government" and "The US", the EU lawmakers are quite aware of the situation at the top of the US government. It's no secret to them (and he has demonstrated that in person) that Trump doesn't listen to his advisers, ignores allies and doesn't give much consideration to the eventual effects of his policies.
May 9, 2018 at 21:32 comment added Alexei @xyious - interesting perspective (+1). However, from the EU's perspective Trump's decision means US's perspective, doesn't it?

May 9, 2018 at 20:28 comment added xyious The US and the EU are not out of sync, Trump and the EU is. I guess I should make that clearer ?
May 9, 2018 at 18:42 comment added userLTK I think this is largely correct, but it needs some references. Also it seems evident that Trump is very much out of sync with Europe on this agreement, so, when you begin with "They are not" that's a tricky argument. Not necessarily wrong, but you need more evidence if you want that argument to fly.
May 9, 2018 at 18:23 comment added user9389 Perhaps you could include a poll or vote that supports your claim that the majority of American lawmakers agree with it.
