A sense of relief over ‘dear Joe’ and post-Trump summit era

Associated Press  

BRUSSELS — Over the four years of Donald Trump’s presidency and through the seeming eternity of pandemic misery and isolation, America’s partners in world affairs were waiting to exhale. President Joe Biden — “dear Joe” to the European Commission’s chief — engaged fellow world leaders in hours of small talk, hours of large talk, fist bumps, clumsy elbow bumps, a beach barbecue overlooking the moody British seascape, “family photos” and public displays of conviviality bordering on giddiness. A core number of His Excellencies and Her Excellencies — diplo-speak for heads of government — converged repeatedly as the gathering for the G-7’s seven government and two European institutional leaders morphed into the summit for the 30-member NATO alliance. There was palpable relief to have moved on from what German Chancellor Angela Merkel once called Trump’s “sobering and a bit depressing” summit behavior. “Note that President Biden’s first visit is to Europe,” he said, “and try to remember where President Trump’s first visit was.” It was to Saudi Arabia.
