Slovak PM Fico allegedly called Trump "dangerous" in private, but denied it; White House called reports fake news.

Five diplomats claim that Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico told EU officials in Brussels that President Donald Trump looked "dangerous" and "out of his mind" during their private meeting at Mar-a-Lago on January 17, 2026. Fico refuted the allegations on social media, calling them false. The White House called the reports "fake news," saying the meeting went well. Fico had publicly praised the visit, emphasizing talks on EU policy and Ukraine, but his private comments—made in a casual setting—reflect growing European concern about Trump's unpredictability and mental health, particularly in light of his actions and rhetoric during his second term. The claims have not been supported by any evidence, and no formal medical evaluation has been made public.
