The Rutte way or the Carney method? Scaramucci says Europe’s Trump strategy is off the Mark

European leaders are using the wrong strategy to deal with U.S. President Donald Trump, according to Anthony Scaramucci, who briefly served as the White House’s communications director during Trump’s first term. “You have to be firm with him. He doesn’t respect people that aren’t. I think you have got to wait him out,” Scaramucci told WELT AM SONNTAG , which, like POLITICO, is part of the Axel Springer Global Reporters Network. Scaramucci described two ways of handling Trump: the Carney approach and the Rutte approach. “There’s two models of behavior: one is [NATO Secretary-General] Mark Rutte and one is [Canadian Prime Minister] Mark Carney. I think Mark Carney is handling him better.
