That was not the claim. The claim was the Trump administration "let Russia out of the agreement." Because the Trump administration left the agreement, they allowed Russia to leave the agreement without any further diplomatic consequence or scorn. It is hard to imagine any other action that "let Russia out of the agreement."
I am trying to assume good faith but this assumption is being sorely tested.

Which is false, because they left the agreement in 2021 on their own accord. > Because the Trump administration left the agreement, they allowed Russia to leave the agreement without any further diplomatic consequence or scorn. This was not the original claim made, this is goal post shifting for getting a fact wrong. > I am trying to assume good faith but this assumption is being sorely tested. Making false claims isn't "good faith."
