Belgium’s Foreign Minister Maxime Prévot has summoned U.S. Ambassador Bill White for a second time this year, after he posted an Instagram story mocking the country’s Health Minister Frank Vandenbroucke. “Who’s the biggest LOSER in Belgium?” asked U.S. President Donald Trump’s appointee in Brussels on social media, above a seemingly AI-generated picture of Vandenbroucke on a cigar box. In an apparent mockery of the minister’s push to change health warnings used in alcohol advertising, the box reads: “Damages every form of joy in life.” “It is unacceptable that an ambassador uses such insulting language against a member of government,” Prévot said in a statement to POLITICO. The foreign ministry confirmed the summoning, which was first reported by news agency Belga. A spokesperson for Belgium’s health ministry declined to comment. A trade association for Belgian brewers are campaigning this week against a March law proposed by Vandenbroucke, which would change the health warning on alcohol advertisements — from “alcohol abuse causes health damage” to “alcohol causes health damage.” White was previously summoned in February after he accused Brussels of antisemitism over a probe into three Jewish mohels in Antwerp suspected of performing circumcisions without the required medical qualifications. White called the investigation “ridiculous” and pressured Vandenbroucke to intervene, prompting the Belgian government to accuse him of interfering in the country’s domestic and judicial affairs. Conner Rousseau, the leader of Vandenbroucke’s party Vooruit, also responded to White’s post on Instagram. The ambassador “knows nothing about healthcare” and “only follows what daddy Trump says,” Rousseau said. The U.S. embassy in Brussels did not reply to a request for comment. Pieter Haeck contributed reporting.

Elon Musk’s xAI has adopted an unusual and aggressive strategy to fend off lawsuits over child sexual abuse material allegedly created by its AI chatbot, Grok. The company recently sued two of its users, saying they violated X’s terms of service by using Grok to create explicit images of children. xAI is the parent company of the social media platform X, where Grok is housed. Both of the men xAI has sued are also facing criminal charges. The company’s lawsuits seek to hold those users responsible for “all reasonable expenses” xAI incurs defending itself against lawsuits their alleged victims file against the company, including damages for “reputational harm.” Late last month, SpaceXAI sued Russell Bloodworth, an Arkansas photographer who is facing more than 100 criminal charges for allegedly using Grok to alter his professional photos of children into child sexual abuse material. .Bloodworth has pleaded not guilty. “[Bloodworth’s] actions were a calculated scheme to weaponize Plaintiff’s tool for criminal ends, exposing real victims to profound and lasting harm, while exposing Plaintiff to significant legal risk and reputational damage,” xAI wrote in its complaint. The company is being sued by alleged victims of Bloodworth over images he’s accused of creating with Grok. It asked the court to rule that Bloodworth should have to cover its legal fees in that litigation because Bloodworth violated X’s terms of service to create the allegedly unlawful and abusive images. Even in instances of criminal conduct, it’s extremely rare for businesses to enforce their terms of service by suing a user. “It’s not something you really see any other companies doing,” said John Coyle, a law professor at the University of North Carolina and an expert on business contracts and corporate litigation. “The reason why most companies don’t engage in this kind of behavior is because, first, it’s not great for their brand.” Generally, xAI has enforced X’s terms of service through suspensions, terminating accounts and making legally required reports of suspected child sex abuse material to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. The company has made nearly 74,000 such reports in 2026 alone, resulting in more than 240 arrests, it said in court filings. xAI has not said why it’s turning to litigation in certain cases or how it decides when to do so. The company did not respond to POLITICO’s requests for comment. About two weeks before suing Bloodworth, xAI sued Terry Wayne Harwood, a South Carolina man also accused of using Grok to create CSAM. Harwood has also been criminally charged with sexual exploitation of a minor. The lawsuit makes the same allegations of breach of contract and uses language included verbatim in the later complaint against Bloodworth. xAI is defending itself in multiple lawsuits over nude or explicit images generated by Grok without the subject’s consent, including the creation of child sexual abuse material. One class action includes a plaintiff, referred to as South Carolina Roe, who claims that the perpetrator who used Grok to “nudify” images of her as a child was her father. South Carolina Roe’s attorney, Sophia Rios, told POLITICO that xAI’s lawsuit against Harwood is “too little, too late.” The number of reports regarding Grok-created child sexual abuse material “indicates to me that the actual problem is with their product, which they should fix to prevent this conduct from happening in the first place,” she said. xAI says in its complaints that the company “builds in technological safeguards to prevent bad actors from engaging in illegal, harmful, or abusive conduct, or otherwise attempting to violate its rules.” The company is facing at least two other class actions regarding nudification. The company is also defending against at least four individual suits based on Bloodworth’s alleged crimes, with more expected, according to Derek Potts, an attorney representing alleged victims of Bloodworth. All of the cases essentially claim that xAI fails to use industry-standard safeguards used by other AI businesses to prevent the creation of sexualized, non-consensual deepfakes. Potts told POLITICO the company’s lawsuits against the alleged perpetrators are an attempt to “try to point the finger elsewhere,” adding that he doubts the company can recover a significant sum from Bloodworth and Harwood.
