US Ambassador Bill White urged the Belgian government to condemn politician Conner Rousseau's social media post comparing President Trump to Hitler. White submitted an official complaint, calling Rousseau's video "unreasonable and unacceptable" and demanding its removal. This diplomatic dispute arose after White himself was summoned over his comments on a Jewish circumcision case. Rousseau stated he would not be intimidated and maintained Belgium's right to express concerns about US actions, while the White House indicated a strategy to influence allied domestic policies.
