My intuition tells me, a USD cash advance is more important than Trump attention to the Initiative.

The EU didn't fly the flag at the first two gatherings. But today, Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker is personally going to the Romanian capital, in what can be seen as an attempt to put the pro-American initiative into an EU framework.
