US President Donald Trump arrived in Malaysia on Sunday as part of a five-day mission aimed at boosting America’s engagement in Asia and reinforcing trade ties with key regional partners. The visit comes amid growing diplomatic efforts in the region and includes planned meetings with several Asian leaders.

Trump, 79, made a lively entrance in Malaysia’s capital, dancing to the rhythm of drums on the airport tarmac near Air Force One, his energetic moves drawing smiles from onlookers. He joined performers dressed in colourful traditional costumes representing Malaysia’s major ethnic groups. Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim also took part.


The visit is part of a broader five-day trip focused on expanding the US’s presence in Asia and strengthening trade relations. Trump is expected to meet Japan’s newly elected leader, Sanao Takaichi, in Tokyo and Chinese President Xi Jinping in South Korea.



During Trump’s visit, Thailand and Cambodia on Sunday signed a joint declaration on a peace deal in the presence of US President Donald Trump and Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, marking a formal step toward ending hostilities and restoring peace along their disputed border.

Dubbed the “KL PEACE Accord”, the deal was signed by Thai Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul and Cambodian counterpart Hun Manet on the sidelines of the 47th ASEAN Summit in Kuala Lumpur, chaired by Malaysia.
