    Would the US like it if another country tried to push it to the side and negotiate on its behalf on literally any issue, not even war-related?

    Do you think the US would accept the outcome of such negotiations willingly?

    I suspect it wouldn’t, so expecting another country to do so is pure hypocrisy.
