America is respected again.
A sword dance was held in President Trump's honor when he visited Saudi Arabia.
President Trump was the first foreign head of state to dine with a Chinese president in the Forbidden City since 1949.

And of course he outpaced Queen Elizabeth as they reviewed her guard. (Obummer was showed around by the butler).
Now he will be the first to meet the new Japanese Emperor Naruhito.

On a side note, the linked article says Trump and Abe are expected to meet every month from April to June. Today of course being one of those days.

Interesting…
