Israeli prime minister -minist Benjamin NetanyahuHe landed on this Monday in Washington for the fact that on paper should be a visit between “old allies.” But if anything has done this new era of Donald Trump in the White House, even friends do not come out of meeting with him. On the table: GasThe field and a clear goal for Trump: to write down the political merits of a truce, preferably this week.
“We are very close to the gas agreement,” he said this morning. “We could have it this week”He added. The message is clear: Bibi, do not come to ask, come and give up.
Although they have been sold for years as inseparable strategic partners, Netanyahu knows very well that there are no guarantees with TrumpHe had already lived in his own flesh in April when he left the White House without a joint press conference and, even worse, without the expected agreement on preferential tariffs. It was received, yes, but without honors.
And this is not lonely. Because in these first six months Trump 2.0, Several world leaders went through the oval office And they went out more than fined.
Zelensky, a cry of disappointment
The scene was almost surrealisticThe field on February 28, in a closed door (with a large number of microphones than planned), Trump launched a bronch warning to the President of Ukraine: “You play from the Third World War!” Zelenski answered with a mixture of unbelief and anger: “Katya’s diplomacy has become an American?!”
What should be a conversation about military assistance He became an open confrontationSince then, the Ukrainian president has struck his speech to Washington.
South Africa: racial bulge live
Kirill Ramafos, President of South Africa, Trump shot him from disinformation: “Look at all these burned white farmers”Field
The redesigned broth of his first mandate without any actual grounds, but released without a filter and at a complete bilateral meetingThe field of the White House canceled the joint press conference and the press conference, which officially protested. He meeting This ended in all diplomatic silence.
Macron, the one who planted his face
With the president of France, the clash was more technical, but equally indicative. In March, Trump released one of his halves of truths about European assistance to Ukraine: “Europe simply provides money to Ukraine”Field
Macron, without losing his composure, corrected him live: “No, in fact, We paid 60% of all the help … And we would recover only if Russia is finishing paying for it. “
Netanyahu: the third appointment, little confidence
Returning to Netanyahu, today the faces will be visible with Trump, which, although he winks publicly, gives in private. Large attributes are not expectedTrump’s priority field – close – or at least appear that he is going to close – a truce in gas.
Everything else, including the strategic interests of Israel, are in the background. If Bibi does not deliver something, the match may end like in April: Without photo, without agreements and with another ally overwhelming.
Because this is what this reloaded Trump brought: Less diplomatic and more confrontation style of foreign policyl. For many, pure geopolitical matonism. For others, the pressure strategy. For everyone, unpredictable. And although today it is Netanyahu, no one can say that they did not warn him.
