In fact, for Trump, it has long been the norm to withdraw from international treaties at will. Before deciding to withdraw from the Iranian nuclear deal, Trump denied the WTO treaty and China was a market economy country. Why did Trump do this? The reason is simple: I don't think these treaties have maximized the interests of the United States! In fact, choosing to unilaterally withdraw from international treaties or organizations is not Trump's patent. Before him, the president of the United States also had such a "overbearing" move.
1984, the United States decided to withdraw from UNESCO because it was dissatisfied with the weakening of its culture by developing countries. The following year, because Nicaragua accused the United States of violating its sovereignty by force, the United States immediately withdrew from the United Nations International Court of Justice. In 2000, Bush, then president of the United States, announced that the United States would withdraw from the ABM Treaty, in order to allow the United States to have no restrictions on missile deployment. After the United States withdrew from the treaty, Russia also withdrew. In 200 1 year, the United States withdrew from the United Nations Conference against Racism because Israel was criticized by the international community after its armed suppression of Palestinians. In 2002, the United States considered that the relevant provisions of the Statute of the International Criminal Court were not conducive to American politicians, soldiers and diplomats, so it chose to withdraw from the treaty!
The most ridiculous thing is that the United States always seeks double standards that are beneficial to itself in international treaties. For example, the United States refused to sign the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, but asked other countries to abide by it as a leader! ?
