Trump thinks he's going to re-negotiate this. That's a laugh. The world's leaders are not re-negotiating this, and especially not with him. He really is delusional. I think they're done with him. The United States is no longer a world leader because of Trump.

Yes, and germany is now going to pay their fair share in the UN......oh...wait.....
(yes, I'm in the correct thread, connect the link folks....)
One thing you failing to realize is we hold all the cards because of the vast amount of resources in this country. There is no other country on this planet other than perhaps Russia with the resources we have.
wow, really? There is more coal than the world will ever need.
absolute RUBBISH!
we have about 7% of the world's natural gas reserves and there is a massive amount of gas and we know there is likely vastly more methane that will be cost effective later.
Oil we are not even in the top ten.
I don't know where you are getting your info coalman but it is BAD. There is lots of Oil but world market would be fine if we vanished tomorrow. more gas than we can sell. And more coal than the world wants by a wide margin.
YOU ARE KIDDING YOURSELF if you think we have any kind of energy stick to beat anyone with.
WHAT resources do you really think the USA controls? Tech? They will flee our shores faster than we can close the doors , if anyone interferes. Corn? nope we simply subsidize ours to kill competitors it would take little time at all for others to make up for it.
weapons? Well yep, our refusing to sell would open the door for china EU and Russia to profit hugely .
in short the world does not need us anymore than it needs any nation excluding China. China would be hard to replace.

i agree. EU is looking to China , China sees its chance to improve relations with the EU and perhaps get some long term agreements that put China and the EU as joint global leaders. Frankly the world is looking to Merkel. and she is just the lady to step up and the german people are likely to love seeing themselves pushed to the global forefront .
He's offered to renegotiate but I doubt that will work out. As far as reneging these countries should of been aware of this possibility knowing that Obama had no legal authority to enter into such a permanent agreement. I would also suggest in the future they insist that any President trying to enter into such a sweeping agreement take it to the Senate where it belongs.
I don't think Trump has an interest in actually re-negotiating. If we're honest, this is what he (well, Bannon) wants.
To your second point: sure, I don't disagree. Obama probably didn't go about it the right way.
