Trump's new approach to foreign diplomacy

That was once a place for brief, cordial interactions with the press, President Donald Trump has taken to using the Oval Office to dress down foreign leaders for slights, real and perceived.

In the past, the media were ushered into the Oval Office when the president was meeting with a foreign leader for a few minutes at most. The conversations in front of the assembled press corps would be polite, sometimes even bordering on dull. If extended interactions with the press were planned, a press conference would be set up in one of the larger rooms of the White House.

Now, the Oval Office has become the site for Trump to berate foreign leaders and reporters at length, perhaps most famously, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in February and most recently the South African president, Cyril Ramaphosa, in an eye-catching new style of foreign policy.
