In recent weeks, Trump, seizing the role of both an erstwhile diplomat and ascending opposition party leader, has extended welcomes to a series of foreign leaders at his homes in Florida and New York.
It’s not unusual for foreign leaders to meet with the leader of the party that doesn’t control the White House – especially one with a serious chance of becoming commander in chief.
Biden and his top envoys have also met and spoken with opposition leaders, something that has been a longstanding practice for US officials.
Last week, Trump met with Poland’s Duda at Trump Tower, where the two discussed NATO spending over dinner.
Trump, both while president and during his 2024 campaign, has called on NATO countries to spend more on defense.
