They see it like a business negotiation, where the other side will make a show of being upset but then return to the table.
Donny’s approaching it like all his business deals: He thinks he’s in the position of greater power and the other side may rant and rage, but they’ll have to come deal with him if they want to make a deal.
He doesn’t quite get that these are sovereign nations with the ability to seriously fuck with our economy, not some low-rent independent contractors that he can sucker into taking way less than was agreed upon because otherwise they’ll have to deal with his lawyers.
