That's not what it means. All it means is that the declas is delayed.  And for good reason. Think about it. What does it mean when someone asks you to not do or say something? It means you have leverage over them. Leverage you can use to your advantage. But also, leverage that disappears the moment you declas.  Trump may have even known this in advance, and suggested the declas to get the foreign players to show their hand.  Either way, he should maintain the leverage until it has served its purpose.
