  • At his Mar-a-Lago club in Florida, the president-elect has been hosting diplomatic dinners, announcing cabinet picks and firing off texts to his aides
  • all after the sun goes down.

The article from The New York Times, published on December 14, 2024, discusses former President Donald Trump's unconventional approach to diplomacy during his time in office, particularly focusing on a series of late-night meetings at Mar-a-Lago. These gatherings, often extending into the early hours, involved foreign dignitaries, business leaders, and political figures, where Trump would engage in informal discussions, deal-making, and sometimes controversial decision-making. The piece highlights how these nocturnal sessions at his Florida estate became a hallmark of Trump's foreign policy, blending personal relationships with official state business, often bypassing traditional diplomatic channels. Critics argue that these meetings lacked transparency and formal protocol, potentially compromising national security and foreign relations, while supporters see them as Trump's unique, direct approach to diplomacy. The article also touches on specific instances where significant policy decisions or international agreements were reportedly influenced by these late-night sessions, illustrating the blurred lines between Trump's private life and his role as a statesman.
