Because as per above, only ~15 have actually made any offers. The rest
(50 or 70 or whatever) are likely to have just been calls made by
officials to ask "social media says .. what's the official word?".

He's already got bigger problems than some tiny nation not giving him
lip service. Seems that your news cycle is behind on US bond yields and
on currency valuation changes (hint: USD down big vs Euro).
