Its NOT a treaty until the Senate approves it...

The Constitution provides in Article II, Section 2, Clause 2: “He (the President) shall have power, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, to make treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur.”

There's the rub -- International law can recognize it as a valid treaty regardless of whether 2/3rds of a country's senate approves where the country adopts actions that show consent, which the U.S. has done. This is why Trump must completely withdraw!

Ok so it’s an unconstitutional agreement. Regardless of what you call it, Trump has the authority to unilaterally withdraw from it.
