Bill White, Trump-channelling US envoy to Belgium
The longtime Democrat and fundraiser says he is focused on relaying Trump’s message as Belgian media gives him front-page attention.
Ambassador White, the new US envoy to Belgium, is executing a mission to secure $50 billion in deals for President Trump. He told AFP in Brussels that Trump laughed and said, "Bring back $50 billion in deals."
The 59-year-old diplomat was a longtime Democrat and liberal champion before shifting his political allegiance to Trump following the 2016 election. White became a key fundraiser for the billionaire, raising large sums in recent campaigns.
Despite reports of anti-American sentiment in Europe, White dismissed such claims as "all baloney." He recounted a boat trip through Ghent last Saturday where locals called out, "Ambassador White from America! We love America."
Scheduled for the 250th anniversary of US independence, a major US-style bash in Brussels will feature Prime Minister Bart De Wever giving a speech. White promised it will be the "largest, biggest, best" event outside Washington.
By monitoring Truth Social for updates, White claims he knows exactly what the president is thinking. His mission is to "get an A plus" from Trump by relaying the president's message to Belgian leaders and diplomats.
