<h1>World leaders adapt to unpredictable US diplomatic style using flattery, patience, and strategic accommodation tactics</h1> World leaders are adapting to a US President's unpredictable diplomatic style by employing flattery, patience, and strategic accommodation. At recent NATO and G7 summits, foreign officials shortened meetings, removed contentious topics, and heaped praise on the American leader to maintain working relationships. Leaders are learning to navigate his rapid policy shifts, threats that may not materialize, and preference for transactional diplomacy over traditional approaches. The strategy involves waiting out threats to determine specific demands while finding ways to deliver when possible. Recent examples include NATO members focusing solely on defense spending increases while avoiding discussion of ongoing conflicts, and officials using complimentary language to prevent diplomatic disruptions.
