That's exactly the point. This is political, not urgent. If Trump (I'm no fan of Trump, or any other politician, really) doesn't roll back these changes, it will hurt his prospects on the way forward he said he wanted to take - better relations with Russia. If he does roll them back, queue howls of outrage from everywhere that Trump is weak and being a pushover to the public enemy number one du-jour.
It is a political move, and a petty and small minded one at that.
- solipsism 10y agoOverly principled politicians don't do well in the US system (or perhaps any political system). You might be right but what's the point of being right if you have zero influence? This is what I've learned about US politics anyway.
