Thanks for that information. --- I did not know this....I have no admiration for Trump, but the idea of an obligatory renewal process might be seen in more benign fashion in some situations. For example, if an agreement is controversial, and my country doubts the sincerity of the partner, might it not serve as a safeguard? I have in mind a border agreement, which hinges on implementation actions on both sides, or even a trade agreement -- say for pharma products -- which will need action by the other side to open its market. Realistic?
