The Rutte way or the Carney method? Scaramucci says Europe’s Trump strategy is off the Mark
The former White House comms chief described two models of behavior displayed by the NATO secretary-general and the Canadian prime minister.
Anthony Scaramucci, who once worked as White House communications director during Donald Trump's first term, claims European leaders are employing the wrong approach to deal with the U.S. president. According to Scaramucci, who spoke to WELT AM SONNTAG, there are two models of behavior when it comes to handling Trump: the Carney approach and the Rutte approach.
He believes Mark Carney, the Canadian Prime Minister, is handling Trump better than Mark Rutte, the NATO Secretary-General. Scaramucci argues that flattery and equivocation towards Trump, as seen in Rutte's approach, only diminish his respect, while a firm stance, akin to Carney's, is more likely to yield positive results.
