Before President Donald Trump took office for a second time, European officials thought they had him figured out.  He was transactional, they said, a man motivated by a good deal, some bragging they knew how to do business with him based on their interactions with him in his first term.  But, Trump in 2025 is not the same as he was in 2017.  The White House has wrested global affairs from professional diplomats and dialed up its policy on everything from Russia to climate change, foreign assistance and global trade.  This has rattled the State Department officials who are supposed to implement foreign policy on a day-to-day basis.
