European allies are adapting to President Trump's unconventional approach to diplomacy, where the Oval Office operates like a court. European leaders aim to communicate directly with Trump, as traditional diplomatic methods have proven ineffective. While some leaders like Italy's Giorgia Meloni are successfully gaining access, others find the reliance on advisors like Elon Musk perplexing. Despite polite interactions with Trump officials, European officials feel their concerns are overlooked, highlighted by the lack of communication regarding renewed Iran nuclear talks, which were critical to European interests.
European leaders have found that effective communication with Trump often bypasses traditional diplomatic means, relying instead on special envoys and personal connections.
The key challenge for European allies has been getting their messages to Trump directly, often feeling sidelined by his preference for trusted friends over diplomats.
