The Foreign Ministry believes that it is necessary to continue working with the Trump administration, but at the same time not to limit contacts to the White House.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"1142\" data-end=\"1410\"> Belgian diplomats are advised to work more with Congress, Republican and Democratic state governments, and mayors of major cities. They are also advised to maintain contacts with Democrats and seek out politicians from both parties who may gain more influence in the future.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"1412\" data-end=\"1608\"> Another issue is weapons. The document notes that the Trump team is receptive to American weapons purchases.
