Understanding Negotiation Dynamics

Negotiation is often a complex and messy process, particularly on a public stage. It is noted that critics may lack a real understanding of negotiation tactics and thus misinterpret actions taken during negotiations. The current media portrayal of negotiations can be biased, particularly against figures like Trump, who utilize a deal-making approach. The expectation that negotiations should unfold smoothly ignores the reality that they often involve strong rhetoric and calculated risks to achieve favorable outcomes.
