Ironically, presidents on foreign visits have very little direct contact with the dozens and dozens of foreign service officers who are brought into the country of a particular visit, except the US ambassador. They will pass by many of them doing various support jobs from staging the press to organizing motorcades, but frankly, POTUS doesn't really give a flip what the local US staff thinks about him either way, because they are outside his bubble.
