You suspend or terminate one deal, and then go into fresh negotiations with something else you want - e.g. stop the genocide, and we'll trade with you again. Isn't that how it works?
- When you suspend negotiations, it means you don't have them.
  No deal has even been suspended. Only talks. Well, they have not either. Which is what this post is about.
