As many Americans were heading to bed Friday night, President Trump walked out onto the White House lawn and took a few questions from reporters. Then, he boarded Marine One and took off for Andrews Air Force Base. Shortly after 11:00 PM, the president left the country for a major summit of Asian nations.
After a brief stop in Germany Saturday morning, Trump flew to Qatar, where he held a meeting with the emir. Later that night, he landed in Kuala Lumpur, the capital of Malaysia. He walked off of Air Force One full of energy, even dancing briefly with native Malaysian performers.
The whole purpose of his trip is to make America safer, to bring peace wherever he can, and to encourage investment in the United States.
In Malaysia, Trump signed a trade deal and a rare earth minerals deal, which is incredibly important for our national security. He also participated in a peace treaty signing ceremony between Cambodia and Thailand. He “brokered” that deal.
Then, he was off to his next stop on this whirlwind tour.
