Indeed.

It isn’t a treaty that was ratified by Congress.

Therefore, Trump withdrawal doesn’t require Congressional approval/authorization.

Yup. Executive agreements constitute an oral promise. They’re not binding like treaties are.

What one Administration makes a future Administration can undo.
