Trump also ruled out plenty of (admittedly high risk) interventions and solutions before the negotiations. Why would he make concessions for nothing in return?

Trump also ruled out plenty of (admittedly high risk) interventions and solutions before the negotiations.
Why would he make concessions for nothing in return? I thought he was meant to be a great negotiator and businessman.
- hakfoo 2y agoThe perceived return could be timing and presentation. If he has to spend the rest of his term negotiating back and forth over which flag flies over a particular outhouse in Western Crimea, he may not see that as being a successful deal-maker. Being able to say "we got buy-in for our first proposal, took me four days to end the conflict" fits his image.
