During a whirlwind five-day tour across Asia, President Donald Trump showcased a surprising shift from his ‘America First’ rhetoric to a more globally engaged approach. From dancing with local performers in Malaysia to receiving a gold medal and crown in South Korea, Trump appeared to relish the international spotlight. His trip included high-profile meetings with leaders such as Japan’s Prime Minister and South Korea’s President, where he emphasized mutual benefits in trade and diplomacy. Despite a federal government shutdown and low poll numbers back home, Trump expressed enthusiasm for his foreign engagements, declaring his meetings ‘great’ and ‘fantastic.’
