But backing out of the agreement could prove a lengthy process—one that would end, coincidentally, the day after the 2020 presidential election, when Trump might just be up for re-election.

Multiple people, including former President Barack Obama adviser Brian Deese and CNN's Dan Merica, pointed out this fact on Twitter.
