You couldn't be more wrong here.
Deals that a CEO makes include signed contracts, and the next guy cannot just come in and void them instantly. There are legal implications. If Playboy agrees to a five year contract with a certain printing company to print it's magazine, a new CEO cannot just walk in and void that contract. This will land Playboy in court. And if Playboy does this on a regular basis - walking away from contracts and saying "take me to court" eventually no one will want to business with them.
The same thing just happened here. According to the agreement, there are rules to be followed. The United States - or any other country - cannot just pull out of the deal. That is a violation of the deal. Have you read the deal? If any country believes someone has violated the terms of the deal, there are number of steps to take before they can leave the agreement. The United States failed to do this. The United States is the only country to violate the agreement.
On top of this, the agreement is still in place.
