:Neither do [[Trump]] or [[Zelensky]] understand [[diplomatic]] protocols. They both thought bilateral agreements begin with summits. Whereas summits are actually the termination point to [[ratify]] agreements worked out by the [[sherpa]]s. This MOU is closer to traditional diplomacy than what Trump has practiced and Zelenksy has proposed over the past several years. [[User:RobSmith|RobS]]<sup>[[User talk:RobSmith|WWJD?

::Why Trump’s Iran Deal Is A Disaster For The US | Gerard Baker.
Times News.
Jun 18, 2026.
The State Of It USA Podcast.
President Trump has made a deal with Iran. On Friday, Vice President JD Vance will attend the official signing in Geneva of a 14-point US-Iran Memorandum of Understanding that covers the naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, Iran's nuclear ambitions, the lifting of sanctions, a $300bn reconstruction fund for Iran and a ceasefire.
The deal has gone down badly in the US, and with good reason. Gerry argues that it's a calamity for America and a betrayal of the Iranian people.
Could it also be the undoing of JD Vance? It looks like he's been set up as the fall guy in case this all goes wrong. That could scupper his presidential ambitions. And where does it leave Israel? Donald Trump was Israel's ally but with this deal, has he abandoned them?
