"keep his trade agreements" - right.

He could drop every tariff to 0 right now, but the damage is done. He has proven to everyone what was already known by anyone who'd actually observed the man: he does not honour agreements, breaks them the moment he thinks it gives him an advantage, and acts impulsively without thinking.

The USA is now not a credibly stable trade partner. Who's to say it wouldn't turn on a dime tomorrow?

The world is going to keep re-organizing trade around ... everyone but the USA, for the foreseeable future. Once he's gone, and a handful of consecutive US administrations have acted like stable, reasonable adults, then the world might start reconsidering the USA as a worthwhile partner.

Trump's torched the USA's goodwill everywhere. There's no un-doing that with the stroke of a pen.
