BRUSSELS - With US cities burning and the coronavirus still raging, killing more people than in any other country, President Donald Trump also has growing problems overseas. He has never before been so isolated and ignored, even mocked.
And she was shocked by Mr Trump's sudden, unilateral decision to pull out of the World Health Organisation. "Leaders in allied nations now think that criticising Trump is to their advantage," said Ms Marietje Schaake, a former Dutch European legislator, especially now with the unrest in US cities and demonstrations supporting those protests in many European cities, including Amsterdam.
Mr Trump invited Mr Putin to the meeting, according to the Kremlin. But if it happens at all, there are doubts that Mr Putin would accept being invited solely as a guest, having been kicked out of the club for his annexation of Crimea and support for insurrection in eastern Ukraine."It all shows just how out of touch Trump is with allies," said Ms Julianne Smith, a former Obama official now with the German Marshall Fund in Washington.
The threads unravelled quickly. As late as Thursday, European and US officials say, Mr Trump's plans for a Group of 7 summit meeting in Washington were being negotiated with member countries and looked likely to go ahead. Since then, both Prime Minister Boris Johnson of Britain and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau of Canada have come out publicly against bringing Russia back into the Group of 7.
Despite allied concerns, the Group of 7 matters, and plans for the meeting were going ahead given a general desire to come up with strong positions on Hong Kong and to try to influence Washington's policies on the virus, said Dr Thomas Wright of the Brookings Institution. President Emmanuel Macron of France has a more traditional French view, especially toward building an improved relationship with Russia, despite Crimea, given its proximity to the European Union, said Dr Thomas Gomart, director of the French Institute of International Relations."Our main ally refused to exercise leadership during the corona crisis and is every day more provocative toward its allies and is creating divisions that are very actively exploited by China.
