It's genuinely unclear to me why the premiers could consider rolling this back. It's clearly vexing to the Americans - which means it's effective - and no concession gets you anything but less dignity, until the next time the wind blows the wrong way and Trump gets big mad again.

Very long story short, what we are finding is that both Trump and Epstein were products of a large scale subversion campaign designed by Vladimir Kryuchkov to topple the West, with Trump as a political front and Maxwells/Epstein tasked with allocating ~$50 billion in KGB funds.
