'Europe is very sensitive, I understand that now that I am here,' says the American ambassador who has already been summoned twice in Belgium.

Bill White, the U.S. ambassador to Belgium, has stirred controversy with his social media comments and confrontations with Belgian officials. Appointed by Trump, White emphasizes his business background over diplomatic experience. He has faced backlash for criticizing Belgium's handling of antisemitism and health policies, leading to his summons by the Belgian government. Despite this, he remains focused on securing significant contracts between the U.S. and Belgium, aiming for $50 billion by 2029. White's approach reflects a blend of humor and business acumen, often drawing parallels between U.S. and European economic performance.
