That raises an interesting legal question that's way above my pay grade. If the treaty is still in place with the other countries that signed it, what legal power does the US have to lock up or fine people or companies that are in compliance with that international treaty?
As I understand it, the treaty was ratified by congress and Trump said the US was no longer part of that treaty but that withdrawal has not been ratified by congress, where does that leave the US legally and how does it affect companies in other countries?
All the above assumes that what Huwai are accused of is actually legal under the treaty of course. If they are not in compliance with the treaty, who, legally, can challenge them? What is the appropriate legal process? Or are we now in an era where the orange one decides what's legal and what's not unilaterally?
