Slovakia PM and Trump ally worried about 'Shocking' meeting with Trump and a ‘psychological state’ of a ‘dangerous’ president per diplomats
Slovakia’s prime minister privately told European leaders he was worried about
Donald Trump’s “psychological state”, according to diplomats.
Robert Fico, an ally of the US president, told counterparts at an emergency EU summit that his face-to-face meeting with the US president had been “shocking”.
Mr Fico – one of the few EU leaders to support
Mr Trump’s stance on Europe’s weakness – said the president came across as “dangerous” during their meeting at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida on Jan 17, two diplomats told Politico.
One said the Slovakian prime minister went further, characterising Mr Trump as “out of his mind”, while another said he seemed “traumatised” by his encounter with the US president.
The remarks were made by Mr Fico during an informal huddle between a small group of EU leaders and senior officials on the sidelines of the summit last week. The summit had been convened amid renewed tensions in transatlantic relations following Mr Trump’s threats
to seize Greenland.

None of the diplomats who spoke to Politico were present at the discussion, but all said they had been briefed shortly afterwards by leaders who took part.
