Nobody trusts the USA anymore. Nobody. Every treaty, every agreement, every accord, every contract.....broken. Just how much damage is this dambass going to do before he's voted out? The Trump administration is preparing to withdraw from the Open Skies Treaty that was designed to reduce the risk of military miscalculations that could lead to war, making it the latest major arms control treaty that the US will abandon under President Donald Trump. An announcement could be made tomorrow, an administration source tells CNN. www.cnn.com/2020/05/21/politics/us-open-skies-arms-control-treaty/index.html |

Unless he loses the election in a landslide it may indeed take a very long time to restore international relations and the idea that the US is a trustworthy partner worthy to be listened to.

Unless we have a veto proof house and senate and a president, we can't fix this. I think it will take them 4 years or more to reset everything he has broken.

Now he's withdrawing from the WHO. Among the other agreements from which Trump has walked away are:
The Paris Accords on Climate Change - to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. US quits Paris climate pact
United Nations Arms Trade Treaty - that sets global standards for regulating transfers of conventional arms, from rifles to tanks and airplanes. Trump Moves To Withdraw U.S. From U.N. Arms Trade Treaty
The Iran Nuclear Agreement (Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action) - to restrict Iran's ability to develop nuclear weapons in exchange for lifting economic sanctions against Tehran. Trump Abandons Iran Nuclear Deal He Long Scorned
The Open Skies Treaty - to assure that nations are not preparing for military action. Trump pulls the U.S. out of surveillance treaty, his latest withdrawal from a major pact
The Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty that limits the development of ground-based missiles with a range of 500 to 5,500 kilometers. US formally withdraws from nuclear treaty with Russia and prepares to test new missile
Every one of these agreements was entered into after long and detailed negotiations that established a clear benefit for the United States. Conversely, the abandonment of each of these agreements is unarguably damaging to U.S. interests, but beneficial to our foes. Which begs the question: Whose side is Trump on?

 The longer he's in office the more damage he does.
