If the U.S. wanted to become a full member it would need to do both, and, as my previous post explains, that seems to be a tall order at the moment.
That's fine, but there is no legitimate reason for the U.S. not to send U.S. cardholder information out to other economies for pre-clearance approval. As is clearly stated by CBP in the Federal Register, under ABTC Framework 17 one is not dependent on the other.
Stop conflating the two issues.
