Zeman was the exclusively European Union caput of state who publicly endorsed Trump earlier the elections.
helping Donald inward the 2016 campaign, too. After he won, Ivana Trump declared her wishing to supersede Andrew Schapiro, a quondam classmate of Obama's, equally the USA ambassador to Czechia. Zeman has talked to Ivana Trump together with supported the plan. Ivana's ex-husband hasn't discussed this thought yet.Donald Trump has exclusively been to Czech Republic once. In 1990, he attended the funeral of Ivana's father inward Zlín (the house where shoemaker Baťa started; the town was formerly called Gottwaldov, renamed afterward the Czechoslovak counterpart of Stalin who also died inward 1953), Moravia. The funeral was the minute when the divorcing spouses' battle over the coin turned into a ceasefire. Ivana-Donald's kids convey been going to Zlín almost every year.
(BTW the Czech media convey revealed roughly interesting data almost the spying of Donald together with Ivana Trump yesteryear the Czechoslovak communist subway scheme police, StB. StB – a rogue scheme that included the acquaint finance government minister Babiš equally a collaborator – knew that Trump was getting visible fifty-fifty inward Europe, together with that's why fifty-fifty his "skillful" married adult woman had to travel tracked. See also The Daily Mail on StB together with Trump.)
After the 2 price of Obama who didn't give a damn almost Europe or anything inward it, equally fifty-fifty the Guardian realizes, y'all may meet the genuine excitement that the potential for roughly special relationships with the USA creates alongside a pregnant part of the Czech political junkies. The Internet discussions are total of jokes together with funny scenarios.
Maybe, Zeman was high or boozer when he thought that he was talking to Trump. Or: Zeman is going to invite Trump to his inflated boat. Or: I also endorsed Trump earlier the elections but I got no invitation to the White House. Or people ask: How volition the anti-Zeman media clit these events? Or: the Prague Café is braying hysterically because Zeman is a friend with all the neat powers, Russia, China, together with the USA That's quite a president.
The USA elections together with their unsurprising consequences impact the internal political disputes inward a medium province similar mine. In particular, a calendar month ago, our patch was living with the bogus "civil war" concerning the see of the Dalai Lama together with the apparent loyalty of roughly people to the Dalai Lama together with others (including Zeman) to the Chinese communist leaders.
Just similar Hillary's institution has portrayed Trump almost equally a Russian agent, Zeman was frequently portrayed yesteryear Hillary's Czech counterparts (basically the Prague Café) equally a guy who is leading us to the East – towards Russian Federation together with of late also China. Needless to say, this widespread accusation is pretty much idiotic. But y'all tin meet how speedily such a cliche may piece of employment ludicrous when Zeman has a peril to railroad train pretty special relationships with the West's exclusively superpower.
There are differences, however. Trump has called roughly leader of Taiwan. So roughly people are also joking that Trump's see to the Prague Castle volition travel canceled equally shortly equally Zeman learns almost that call. ;-) But I intend that it's clear that everyone who says such a affair realizes that it is a joke – together with it won't come about because Zeman isn't a Chinese agent just similar Trump isn't a Russian one.
Aside from Czechia, the Libertarian Paradise Land of Liberland hopes to construct unopen ties with the Trump White House, too. ;-)
Czech Republic is 1 of the textbook NATO countries that exclusively pay 1% – well, 1.05% – of the gross domestic product for defense, good below 2% favored yesteryear Trump (but also many USA folks earlier him). The electrical flow Czech defence government minister says that the spending could attain 2% yesteryear 2025. I am certain it could travel done to a greater extent than quickly. And mayhap it should. But 1 should empathize that 1 argue for our smaller defence spending is that nosotros are a landlocked province inside the Western civilization. It just makes lots of types of attacks much less probable than inward other regions. We're much to a greater extent than probable to piece of employment inward tense but verbal arguments almost diverse non-lethal issues (Islamic immigration, nuclear power, other things) with our NATO allies. And it's just non expected that those would Pb to a war. And wars with non-NATO countries are unlikely to acquire to Czech Republic likewise quickly.
So fifty-fifty though Czech Republic is a form of a armed forces production ability (BTW the production of L 159, the airplanes that convey helped the Iraqi Air Force inward recent months, is gonna resume soon) together with has roughly practiced special units etc., it makes feel for us to travel relative armed forces dwarfs. The same-size-fits-all isn't necessarily a sensible policy towards the NATO countries' defence spending. On the other hand, it could travel fair for Trump or other NATO allies to demand that nosotros increase the budget precisely for us to travel able to contribute to faraway wars.
