This paper contends that the US is frequently abrogating and undermining international agreements and treaties. Indeed, the author suggests that recent examples of this include 1) President Trump´s tasking of his administration to find ways to declare Iran to be in non-compliance with the 2015 UN nuclear agreement; 2) Congress’ imposition of new sanctions on Russia, which the author believes will coerce other countries to obey US domestic law, and more. However, she also contends that the US is simultaneously demanding that other countries comply with international law, creating a dangerous double standard.
