Like it or not Trump is the incoming president that they will have to deal with.
Its in the best interest of their countries to try and limit the damage. This does not necessarily mean bending the knee to Trump.

Rather, they know that Trump is highly susceptible to be influenced whether by flattery or perceived benefits. All of these world leaders are way smarter than Trump and hence are playing the game to extract gains for their countries.

That's what we get for having elected a corrupt idiot.
