Still, the president was unable to muscle the Republican-controlled Senate into leaving the Epstein files under seal or passing his signature Save America Act.

(Demetrius Freeman\/The Washington Post)<\/figcaption>\n<\/figure>\n<p>Last year\u2019s \u201cLiberation Day\u201d tariffs were hollowed out within days by carve-outs and delays. The steep levies he threatened against European allies over Greenland were withdrawn in Davos, Switzerland, in January for a vague \u201cframework\u201d that Denmark never accepted and has yielded no major change.<\/p>\n<p>China met his threat of 100 percent tariffs by refusing to blink, then used its chokehold on rare-earth minerals and a halt on U.S. soybean purchases to force Washington into a climbdown \u2014 a lesson in how standing tough often causes Trump to bend that other governments have also learned.<\/p>\n<p>Nowhere is the erosion of Trump\u2019s influence starker than in Iran, where the United States and Israeli initiated a bombing campaign that killed the country\u2019s supreme leader and other top officials but left the Islamic regime intact and with a stranglehold on the Strait of Hormuz, a vital conduit for global energy supplies and other cargo.<\/p>\n<p>Trump issued a cascade of ultimatums demanding that Tehran reopen the strait, notably threatening to annihilate Iranian \u201ccivilization\u201d if it refused. The strait stayed shut. Iran did not fold, even under existential threat, and Trump quietly shifted his stated goals on regime change and on Iran\u2019s stockpile of enriched uranium.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBetween threats, then bombing, then backing off, what he\u2019s radiating to the Iranians is that he\u2019s desperate,\u201d said Ronald E. Neumann, a career Foreign Service officer and U.S. ambassador to Afghanistan, Bahrain and Algeria under Presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush. \u201cAs experienced bargainers, that means you don\u2019t have to lower the price.\u201d Neumann also put it less diplomatically: \u201cThe way Trump bargains,\u201d he said, \u201cI wouldn\u2019t give him money to go to the carpet bazaar.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Trump\u2019s browbeating also failed to pull European countries into his Iran campaign. He threatened Spain with a total trade embargo after it refused assistance, leaned on Britain, France and Germany to reimpose U.N. sanctions and hinted he might not honor America\u2019s NATO obligations. But those allies refused to get more deeply involved the war \u2014 and some countries, namely Spain and Italy, have closed their bases or airspace to it.<\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/movinginsiderusa.com\/?p=8603\">How Trump\u2019s claims of vandalism at the renovated Reflecting Pool crumbled<\/a><\/p>\n<p>When Trump threatened to cut off trade with Spain, said one E.U. diplomat, officials seemed more inclined to dismiss the comments as rhetorical bluster, with many having learned from experience that his outburst would fizzle if ignored. But this diplomat, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss delicate relations, conceded that Trump\u2019s unpredictability made such calculations difficult.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt can be tricky,\u201d the diplomat said, citing Trump\u2019s military operations against Iran. \u201cHe doesn\u2019t always chicken out.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To be sure, Trump has shown he is willing pull the trigger.<\/p>\n<p>At home, he sent National Guard troops on patrol in Washington, D.C., and his immigration crackdown has thrown American cities into turmoil, with masked federal agents sweeping workplaces and courthouses \u2014 raids that sometimes turned deadly and ignited protests.<\/p>\n<figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8611\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/movinginsiderusa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/c6478db763ccc4bda5e56d8cbee12c68-1024x683.jpg\" width=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/movinginsiderusa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/c6478db763ccc4bda5e56d8cbee12c68-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/movinginsiderusa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/c6478db763ccc4bda5e56d8cbee12c68-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/movinginsiderusa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/c6478db763ccc4bda5e56d8cbee12c68-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/movinginsiderusa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/c6478db763ccc4bda5e56d8cbee12c68-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/movinginsiderusa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/c6478db763ccc4bda5e56d8cbee12c68-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<figcaption>National Guard, Secret Service and U.S. Park Police in D.C. on July Fourth. (Tom Brenner\/For The Washington Post)<\/figcaption>\n<\/figure>\n<p>But even the willingness to use force has not bought the deference it once did. Increasingly, officials and politicians at home and abroad are willing to challenge Trump\u2019s threats \u2014 or ignore them.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEurope is noticeably less prone to panic,\u201d said Mujtaba Rahman, managing director for Europe at the Eurasia Group consultancy. \u201cEuropean governments are increasingly distinguishing between Trump\u2019s rhetoric \u2026 and the policies that ultimately emerge.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The pattern reaches into the Gulf, where officials have grown inured to Trump\u2019s style of dealmaking, analysts said.<\/p>\n<p>Last month, Washington and Riyadh announced an agreement on Saudi Arabia\u2019s civilian nuclear program only for Trump to post later on Truth Social that the deal was contingent on Saudi Arabia joining the Abraham Accords.<\/p>\n<p>Saudi officials found the claim surprising and annoying given that they had already trumpeted the agreement across their own channels, said Andrew Leber, a Middle East scholar at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, the Washington-based policy institute.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt this point, they have dealt enough with Trump deals to know that such exasperating and inconsistent moves have become the norm,\u201d Leber said.<\/p>\n<p>For much of Trump\u2019s first year back, European capitals ran the same strategy of flattery and appeasement they believed had contained him before. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen flew to Trump\u2019s Scottish golf resort to settle a trade fight on his terms. Britain invited him for an unprecedented second state visit.<\/p>\n<p>Leaders now are still willing to flatter Trump, especially in private, but they are less willing to offer the concessions he wants, according to a European diplomat who has been involved directly in talks with the administration.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBehind closed doors they are still putting it on thick because they know it works,\u201d said the diplomat, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive interactions. \u201cThis is a president who can significantly soften his position in the course of a single meeting. But that doesn\u2019t mean you give in. That is true more than ever.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Greenland was a turning point, the diplomat said, because <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/world\/2026\/01\/07\/trump-us-europe-greenland\/\" rel=\"\" target=\"_self\" title=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/world\/2026\/01\/07\/trump-us-europe-greenland\/\">Trump\u2019s threats evaporated against united European opposition<\/a>. China, too, showed that pushing back could bend the president, as did Brazil, whereas Europe\u2019s surrender to Trump\u2019s initial trade barrage merely led to further demands from him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think people are saying, well, we don\u2019t want to provoke him unnecessarily, but we can\u2019t really make him happy,\u201d said Neumann, the former ambassador.<\/p>\n<p>Learning to mute Trump\u2019s threats won\u2019t necessarily make the rest of his term easier to navigate, analysts said. Doing so could even make things less predictable if Republicans lose one or their majorities in Congress in the midterm elections and Trump turns to more unilateral executive actions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt could be super dangerous,\u201d Shapiro said. \u201cTrump is not somebody who will go quietly into the night. He will rage about his loss of capacity and he will look for other ways to take risks with American power.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><i>Faiola reported from Rome.
