That seems to be benign at this point. They wouldn't (and shouldn't) have full trust for us in the first place for already a good number of reasons. We've exported some of our problems to other nations, some things we're now trying to change and get rid of, so maybe breaking up from that influence does the whole world a great deal of good in the short term. Especially forcing other nations beyond wiggly words themselves to make commitments far beyond the immediate and maybe a reset will be beneficial for everyone... after Trump leaves, the US will probably have its own reset anyway and I would expect other nations would want to work with us rather quickly if that works in their favor. I can't see certain leaders turning down a chance to make that work in their favor...

Words never mean much in the grand scheme, especially in situations like foreign policy where there are so many moving parts. The world could use a whole less words, tbh. One thing I did realize though about words when listening to people speak is that when important leaders get together and sit next to each other, words do become valuable currency when you're in a room full of egos... some of these people very badly want acceptance.
