On Thursday, December 12, 2025, U.S. President Donald Trump made a comment at the annual Congressional Ball — a traditional holiday event at the White House — claiming that European leaders see the United States’ role under his leadership as dominant on the world stage. In his remarks, Trump said something along the lines of: “The European nations are reporting that your president might as well be the leader of the European nations also. They listen to us, and they respect us like they’ve never respected us before.” He used this statement to boast about what he says are the international respect and influence the U.S. has gained under his administration, especially with Europe. He also claimed the U.S. had helped resolve several global conflicts and hinted that other countries seek U.S. diplomatic intervention even in Asia.

00:21Quiet at times, but always capable of shaking loose into conflict.
00:26In December, those simmering tensions boiled over once again, shattering a fragile peace deal and leaving soldiers and civilians dead on both sides.
00:39The roots of this conflict stretch back to the early 1900s, when French colonial authorities helped draw the borders of what is now Cambodia.
00:49Those lines left behind pockets of disputed land, none more emotive than the area surrounding an 11th century Hindu temple, which Cambodia attempted to register as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2008.
