President Donald Trump danced with Malaysian performers during his five-day Asia tour, which included meetings with Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi in Tokyo and Chinese President Xi Jinping in South Korea. The White House referred to the performance as ‘TRUMP DANCE MALAYSIA VERSION’ on social media, emphasizing its role in the welcoming ceremony arranged by Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim.
Trump also oversaw the signing of a peace agreement between Cambodia and Thailand on Sunday at the ASEAN summit. The agreement, which seeks to end a conflict that displaced 260,000 people, requires Thailand to release 18 Cambodian soldiers held prisoner and for both countries to remove heavy weapons from the border. Trump remarked, ‘We did something that a lot of people said couldn’t be done,’ highlighting the significance of the deal.
Cambodia’s Prime Minister Hun Manet described the agreement as a ‘historic day,’ while Thai Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul stated that it establishes the ‘building blocks for a lasting peace.’ Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet, who is also the son of former Prime Minister Hun Sen, praised the cooperation as ‘an act of courage.’ Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim acknowledged the agreement, saying it ‘reminds us that reconciliation is not concession, but an act of courage.’
Following the ceasefire agreement, Trump reached separate economic deals with Cambodia and Thailand. He also signed agreements with Malaysia on trade and critical minerals, aiming to expand U.S. supply chains and reduce reliance on China, which has restricted exports of key components in technology manufacturing.
This trip marked Trump’s continued focus on diplomatic and economic engagements in Southeast Asia, with significant outcomes in both security and trade. Fox News and The Associated Press contributed to this report.
