Trump's UN Humiliation Foreshadowed by World Leaders' Bids to Court Him Years Later
President Donald Trump's braggadocio at the UN stage once drew mockery, but now world leaders are seeking to build ties with him; his popularity has seemingly reversed in recent years.
President Donald Trump's unconventional approach to diplomacy at the UN has taken a surprising turn; what once elicited mocking laughter has now led world leaders to seek him out for meetings and diplomatic engagements. The shift in perception may be due to Trump's willingness to engage with authoritarian leaders, such as Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong-un, on a more equal footing. This approach has earned him recognition from some countries and praise from others, who see it as a departure from traditional US foreign policy. As a result, Trump is now being actively courted by world leaders seeking his advice and support.
