Donald Trump came into office in 2017 with no government experience, and his surprising victory sent shockwaves through the foreign capitals of American allies and foes alike. This time, world leaders know what they are getting, Norway’s Foreign Minister Espen Barth Eide said in an interview Tuesday. “For instance, we’ve learned that he goes out maximalist and then he starts negotiating. This wasn’t really known to us last time. This is now factored in,” he said.
He also said he has learned to take Trump seriously but not always literally. “If we run around commenting [on] every Truth Social post, you know, we will have nothing else to do.” The minister said he still had questions, such as how Trump would handle Ukraine, U.S. support for the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and even how America would work with the world should there be another global pandemic. “We will go in and discuss this with the new administration and see,” he said.
