Press Release: Statement from Ambassador Bill White’s Meeting with Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Maxime Prévot
Today, Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Maxime Prévot and I had a very frank conversation. We reiterated our shared goals of making U.S. and Belgium stronger, more secure, and more prosperous together. As U.S. Ambassador to the Kingdom of Belgium, I look forward to continuing the important work to promote President Trump’s foreign policy agenda with my Belgian counterparts. I promised Minister Prévot that I would refrain from making derogatory statements targeting Belgian officials and would direct those complaints to the government directly as a first course of action. We agreed to work together to address those concerns when they arise.
We also discussed opportunities for the United States to support Belgium’s energy security through multi-billion dollar projects involving U.S. Liquefied Natural Gas and civil nuclear expertise, Belgium’s potential participation in the Department of Homeland Security’s Global Entry Program, expanding bilateral defense co-production that creates jobs and investment in both our countries, the upcoming visit to Belgium of three remarkable American centenarian WWII veterans, planning for our new Embassy compound, and ways to address longstanding bilateral issues. Working together we will achieve great things for the United States and for Belgium.

Ik ben geschandaliseerd door de goedkope PANO verdachtmakingen die op niets gebaseerd blijken te zijn. Defensie heeft niets te verbergen ik heb dan ook een audit van DGMR besteld.
Misschien moet een bepaalde nieuwsdienst dat ook maar eens laten doen.
Bij goede humor zal er altijd wel iemand beledigd zal zijn. Toegeven aan de censuur-dictatuur van de minderheid is het ergste wat je kan doen. Meer Ricky Gervais nodig in Vlaanderen.
Deze tweet kan ik elk jaar een paar keer bovenhalen. Na het offline halen van sketches over Gaza, zeggen VRT-presentatoren dat ze 'nooit zouden lachen met de Islam, wel volop met katholieken'.
Operation Epic Fury.
President Trump has been willing to do what’s right and necessary to produce real peace in the region.
God bless the United States, our great military, and Israel.
Brlgische en Europese ambassadeurs lieten zich de afgelopen decennia in Washington herhaaldelijk kritisch uit over Amerikaanse wetten. Op doodstraf, op federaliseren recht op abortus (wat dan nog niet eens een politieke maar rechterlijke beslissing was), op gebrek aan trans rights in de Midwest, op wapenwetgeving, etc..., etc... En in de niet-westerse wereld zijn de morele vingertjes van onze ambassadeurs nóg verhevener en belerender, op instructie van onze ministers van Buitenlandse Zaken. En ga eens na hoeveel keer ons Parlement buitenlandse naties veroordeelt in resoluties. Wij zijn verdorie dé betweters van de planeet. Velen lijken dat vergeten te zijn, nu we met het omgekeerde geconfronteerd worden: een ander land dat (voor de verandering) eens commentaar heeft op ons. Dan is het kot plots te klein. Bizar.
“The United States of America has kindly asked Conner, as I have also done personally, to consider retracting his gross statement comparing The President of the United States to somone who murdered millions of Jews in the Holocaust.
We believe this is unacceptable and unconscionable, especially for the “leader” of a political party of such a beautiful and special country of Belgium.
President Trump was twice the victim of an assasination attempt on his life and we take this hate filled rhetoric very very seriously. His statement can also be viewed by deranged people as an insight for violence against President Trump. we saw this with the assassination of my good friend Charlie Kirk.
Conner has said publicly that there is “nothing to learn from America”. He must not have had good history lessons in school. America and our allies gave Belgium their freedom from Nazi Germany, Adolf Hitler and tyranny not once but twice - during World War I and World War II.
For Rousseau to say this and insist on letting it stand is reprehensible.
Therefore , there is no reason for him to travel to America and he will not be doing so anytime soon - until he issues a retraction.”
Period.

Om de één of andere reden niet aan bod gekomen in de Vlaamse media. Nochtans brengen ze elke dag massa’s zaken over Trump en de VS in hun liveblog.
Vreemd dat ze dit oversloegen.
