We had meetings with a lot of Americans, and, in general, we got different messages, even from the same people, in different meetings. How to understand it all is, of course, a question. What they are saying to us in the meetings is that they will not agree on anything like this.

As there are many interlocutors on the American side, we need to accommodate ourselves to the new ways of working with the new administration to understand all the messages. The Americans assured us in every meeting that they were committed to Europe and working together. They’re committed to NATO and understand the security concerns of Europe.

Translated from diplo speech: The Americans have no idea what they’re doing or what they want and bailed out of anything concrete by telling us that sure, they’d like to have dinner sometime.
