Alexander Stubb affected Trump during golf round in Florida
When playing golf, it is important to keep the safety distance to your fellow player, so as not to risk being hit by club or ball. If you are close to the one to beat, stand face to face at the height of the player. Also, be sure to follow the ball with your eyes, so you have time to take shelter if it bounces back against you.
It is assumed that Finland’s President Alexander Stubb has full control of these security regulations.
Last Saturday he visited Trump International Golf Club at West Palm Beach in Florida to play golf with the world’s most powerful man.
Better, he was in the same team as the president. Together, they secured the victory in a tournament for male members and guests.
« A very good player, » Trump summed up at Truth Social, where he also announced that he will buy icebreakers and that the US and Finland will cooperate for peace and security.
On Sunday morning gave The US president also an interview to NBC News, where he explained that he was « very angry » and « cursed » on Russian President Vladimir Putin. The reason was that Putin wanted to poke Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyj and appoint a transitional government to Kiev. He also threatened to extend the sanctions against Russia, if Moscow stands in the way of peace. Then there may be penalties against countries that import Russian oil.
Alexander Stubb continued to London for a meeting with Britain’s Prime Minister Keir Starmer. In an interview with British The Guardian he also commented on the conversations with Donald Trump.
– I think the United States, and my feeling is that it also applies to the president, is losing patience with Russia. I think this is good news for the commitment and negotiations, Stubb said.
It is only a month since Trump portrayed Zelenskyj as a dictator and drove the Ukrainian president prematurely from a meeting in the White House. So what has caused this full reversal? A good swing in West Palm Beach? Maybe not just.
Donald Trump’s fraternal relationship with Vladimir Putin has always been difficult for the Republican Party in the United States. Russia is still an enemy in the eyes of many Americans.
They were spoken at Phone just under two weeks ago. The lean result can be described as a major failure for the White House. The most interesting reaction possibly came from Trump himself, in a follow -up interview with host Laura Ingraham on the right -wing Fox News. Both questions and answers showed how the American right feels pressure on it To show a tougher attitude towards Putin and the Kremlin.
– No one has been tougher against Russia than I was, sounding a typical response from Trump in that program.
A few days later, Trump’s envoy Steve Witkoff gave an interview to Tucker Carlson where he praised Putin as « smart » and « straightforward ». Maybe Witkoff had not received the latest memorandum about the view of the Kremlin. Maybe the manager Trump has a hard time deciding.
Therefore, Alexander Stubb’s golf round was able to play a function: Now it is time to try to put Donald Trump in the right direction.
If the American president begins to realize that he cannot trust the Kremlin, he needs help to avoid losing his face.
Experience says it is easier to influence Trump with flattery than with harsh rational arguments. And if the American president begins to realize that he cannot trust the Kremlin, he needs help to avoid losing his face.
In the interview with The Guardian Stubble reported on his message in Florida: first states that a ceasefire is needed, then set a date for the ceasefire – why not April 20, when Donald Trump has been president for three months? Finally, if Russia does not accept the terms or violates an agreement, let it be consequences. Put pressure with large sanctions.
It remains to be seen if Trump brought in all the arguments on the golf course. He has continued to argue with Zelesknyj about the mineral agreement. But the conversation to NBC News was promising for stubble, which is now being praised at home in Finland for its diplomatic ability.
European leaders have been struggling for many months with how to secure good relations with the United States during Trump’s new term. There are sites where you can practice questions and answers about golf sweat and golf games to take a green card and get out on the track, I just mention it.
