Millennial Diplomat Shapes Trump's Euro Policy Shift
A young State Department official has spearheaded the Trump administration's efforts to transform America's traditional alliances and influence in Europe.
Samuel Samson, a 27-year-old diplomat, has emerged as a central figure in the Trump administration's push to upend America's postwar relationship with Europe. Appointed to a key State Department role just five years after graduating college, Samson has driven the president's agenda to challenge long-standing alliances and reshape U.S. influence across the continent.
Samson's rapid rise reflects the Trump White House's embrace of young, ideologically aligned staffers who share the president's skepticism of international institutions and desire to assert American power in new ways. From advocating for a harder line on NATO funding to pushing the EU on issues like trade and immigration, the millennial diplomat has become a divisive yet pivotal force in transatlantic relations.
