The first meeting in the White House between the outgoing president Barack Obama and the new president Donald Trump was conciliatory, but now sparks are already flying.
In view of Obama's next trip to Europe, Trump's staff yesterday sent a sharp halt to the incumbent president, inviting him, without too many words, not to take significant steps in foreign policy during the transition to "not send conflicting signals" on the international policy that the new American Presidency intends to develop”.
Faced with Trump's harsh intervention, which immediately overheated the political climate and relations between Republicans and Democrats, it will now be interesting to see how Barack Obama will move in the days left to him in the White House.
