World Leaders Face Dilemma: Deal With Trump or Hang On for Biden

[yortsed snacilbuper]

America’s allies and rivals face a tough choice as Donald Trump trails in polls ahead of November’s presidential election: Wait to see if he loses to presumptive Democratic candidate Joe Biden, or cut deals now to avoid negotiating with an emboldened second-term Trump.

The president addressed that dilemma himself in a tweet celebrating the release of an American prisoner, Michael White, from Iran earlier this month.

“Don’t wait until after U.S. Election to make the Big deal,” Trump wrote. “I’m going to win. You’ll make a better deal now!”

3. If Dump steals it again, there won't be a United States for deal making.

4. The world sans Russia and China should do both

Russia and China will be trying to help Trump get re-elected. That is if by dealing with Trump they need to work around him for the benefit of anybody but humanity.

7. A Dilemma?

Not buying that word.
They're going to be dealing with whomever wins.
Just like every 4 years.
And, just like every 4 years, they'll drag their feet on major issues waiting to see what happens.
It's not a dilemma. It's business as usual, every 4th year.

8. They read polls too.

I wouldn't be betting on trump either.

10. In reality their ONLY choice is to wait. In over 3 and a half years, Trump has really made NO deals

On anything significant. He has broken deals, some from as far back as Reagan and he has made unilateral moves. I can think of only one thing where he, his SOS if anyone in his administration
negotiated anything and that was the NAFTA replacement where the new provisions were mostly similar to things included in TPP. Not to mention, he does not seem stable enough to even engage in diplomacy.

Not to mention, in diplomacy you make the best deal possible based on your national interests. If a deal is good now, it would probably still be in the national interest after January. But, that assumes he is considering the national interest! Not likely!
