With Trump no matter how much you give him he’ll ask for more, so no, there’s no reasonable bargaining position. As soon as you capitulate or give they’ll demand more and call you weak.

And the more you blue ball him and deny him what he wants, the weaker his domestic position gets and the less he’s able to lash out.

So don’t fucking bargain with him, don’t make deals, tell him to suck wind. The more people doing this the more he is diminished as a threat to everyone involved.
