Spanish term or phrase: bandear la ira
Con razón, Washington sospecha que puede bandear la ira de los Gobiernos europeos, pues estos son demasiado pequeños y dependen demasiado de la información que les suministra.

This is from a newspaper article about the US spying on European governments. I understand that it means that the US doesn't really need to worry about making the Europeans angry, but I'm not sure of the best way to express the exact meaning in English.

Thank you!

weather the storm of outrage/protests


Explanation:

weather the storm of protests from European governments ...

combines "weather the storm" and "storm of protests/outrage".

"Outrage" is stronger than "protests", but I feel either works in this context
