Former President Trump and his allies are closely monitoring the interactions with foreign leaders, as reported by multiple sources. Trump, known for valuing loyalty and flattery, has taken note of the outreach from various world leaders leading up to the election. He has privately inquired about why certain leaders had not attempted to contact him.
World leaders have already started congratulating the president-elect, with leaders from Europe and Africa among the first to extend their well wishes. A spokesperson for China's Foreign Ministry expressed hopes for peaceful coexistence with the United States just before Trump secured the election victory.
Earlier this year, as Trump appeared poised to win Iowa, he paid attention to which Republicans supported him and when. This information influenced how he interacted with specific individuals, a pattern that extends to his approach on the global stage.
