Joachim Weber emphasized that the meeting between Trump and Zelensky was by no means accidental or spontaneous, but rather a deliberately staged act. He argued that the Ukrainian president was intentionally placed in a position of subordination and patronization to present Trump as the dominant political actor. Weber highlighted that Trump sought to use this encounter to emphasize his role as a successful "policy-maker." Furthermore, he expressed that Trump adopts a rather indifferent attitude towards his allies, viewing them more as "annoying accessories." These assessments reflected Trump’s impulsive personality and underscored his self-centered approach to international diplomacy.
