US EditionTrump's envoys are ticking off other countries. The White House isn't doing much about it
Trump's envoys face formal complaints from allies over covert operations and offensive remarks amid intensifying U.S.-China rivalry, risking strained diplomatic relations, experts warn.
- Three U.S. envoys scrambled this week to manage diplomatic tensions after being called out by allied countries over various controversies.
- The incidents include France summoning Ambassador Kushner over his letter accusing France of insufficient anti-antisemitism efforts and Denmark questioning influence operations in Greenland.
- Kushner urged France to abandon legitimizing Hamas, while Denmark summoned top diplomat Mark Stroh to explain reports of covert activities by Trump-connected operatives in Greenland.
- France's Foreign Ministry firmly refuted Kushner's claims as damaging to transatlantic trust, and the State Department stated it does not control private citizens’ actions and values its ties with Denmark.
- Despite these frictions, White House spokeswoman Kelly affirmed Trump’s confidence in his envoys, emphasizing his foreign policy successes and dismissing notions of diminished global standing.
