@joshbuddy No, trade negotiators don't have short memories. They DEFINITELY know who reneges.
After reading your latest article I say that in Latinamerica we felt betrayed by this fucking political turn, and in México we are very aware of the racist lunatic next door. Trust in US is gone and will not come back; the US might recoup, they might even do a sort of political kintsugi that will take years and will probably show off the pretty seams that put the broken thing back together but it will not be the same and we no longer need, want, admire, use or even care for it...
America cannot undo Trumpism: The only way out is through.

@pluralistic I might be wrong here, but I feel like when it comes to international relations, everyone has a short memory. If that's true, could that short memory allow a return to the old order?
