WNU Editor: My read is different .... most of these diplomats in Washington are worried about their jobs, and their superiors back home are worried because their leaders are demanding intel on how to deal and negotiate with President Trump. What also does not help the situation is that many senior State Department positions have not been filled since the inauguration .... it is these officials who have in the past kept foreign diplomats in the loop on what was happening in Washington, and in turn these diplomats were able to inform their superiors back home on what was happening in the U.S.. For better or worse .... that chain of information has been broken, and no one knows when it will be back to "normal". Personally .... I like the chaos .... and to see these diplomats do something that they are not use to .... which is sweat a bit and worry that their political superiors are not happy with the little work that they are producing.
