Once critical of global deals trump slow to pull out of any

You're referring to the fact that despite being a vocal critic of global deals during his presidential campaign, President Trump has been slow to pull out of some of these agreements.

Here are a few examples:

  1. Paris Climate Agreement: Trump announced in June 2017 that the United States would withdraw from the Paris Climate Agreement, but the process took several years. The official withdrawal didn't occur until November 2020, just days before the presidential election.
  2. Iran Nuclear Deal: Trump repeatedly criticized the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), also known as the Iran Nuclear Deal, during his campaign. However, he didn't formally withdraw from the deal until May 2018, after a year of negotiations with European allies and other signatories.
  3. Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP): Trump withdrew the United States from the TPP in January 2017, just days after taking office. However, he had previously criticized the deal during his campaign, and his withdrawal was seen as a fulfillment of a campaign promise.
  4. North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA): Trump renegotiated NAFTA and replaced it with the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) in 2018. While he had criticized NAFTA during his campaign, he didn't formally withdraw from the agreement until the USMCA took effect in July 2020.

There are a few possible reasons why Trump might have been slow to pull out of these agreements:

  1. Practical considerations: Withdrawing from international agreements can be a complex and time-consuming process, involving negotiations with other countries and potentially significant economic and diplomatic consequences.
  2. Domestic politics: Trump may have been hesitant to withdraw from agreements that had significant support from other countries or industries, fearing backlash from domestic stakeholders or international partners.
  3. Strategic calculations: Trump may have decided to delay or modify his withdrawal from certain agreements to achieve specific goals, such as negotiating better terms or maintaining relationships with key allies.

Overall, while Trump's campaign rhetoric was often critical of global deals, his administration's actions have been more nuanced and pragmatic in practice.
