You can't have a compact between two organisations if only one follows the rules. If the US government isn't playing fair, then there should be no requirement that Maine does. Maybe Trump should apologise and work to avoid that in the future. That would be the best option.

If the US government isn't willing to help blue states like Maine, maybe Canada would.

Maine isn't even blue, it's purple. But not being fully red is enough of a sin, apparently.
