"Everybody knows the American president by now, he's erratic, he's irresponsible, and he's not to be trusted. And this is the person that we were supposed to create a agreement with, and we're going to create further concessions for it. Since who's to say it's not going to be undone?" Kinew remarked, that's why I say you can't create a good agreement with a bad person.
