The headline has it backwards. The US was the one that invalidated the trade deal by imposing more than the 15% tariffs agreed to in the deal.

Is that the trade deal that prevents jailbreaking and interop that Doctorow was talking about?

The US won't stop bullying the rest of the world until it has drastic consequences for its economy. Make of that what you will.
