Have to imagine it's a coincidence that all these things are happening that further the destruction of American interests and they all involve a coalition dedicated to surpassing and replacing the American order and the president is overtly corrupt and obliviously a supplicant to their leaders.

Last month, the head of Belgium's diamond industry presented Trump with a gift: a specially-made 18-karat gold ring worth an estimated $25,000 that celebrated Trump's two terms. Four weeks later, his admin approved a tariff exemption worth billions of dollars to Belgium's diamond industry.
