First of all, Mr Trump has reneged on a signed treaty. This isn't the first time either - for example his repudiation of environmental agreements. Now, where I come from, if your given word is no good, this means you yourself are no good. Under Mr Trump, America's given word is no good and this means her usual partners, Britain included, have to wonder whether America is any good any more. Can America's business partners continue to act in concert with America if President Y is going to renege on agreements signed by former president X? Is America capable of honouring her commitments? Under President Trump I think the answer has to be "No" - his word is no good.

Mr. Trump has consistently broken contracts throughout his business career. IMO, this has been a major factor in his accumulation of wealth. As long as Mr. Trump is in charge, I cannot see the wisdom of making any new agreements with the United States. Our congressional leaders have found themselves repeatedly stymied when Mr. Trump immediately denounces deals after negotiating them.
I have just posted more on Iran and trade here.
