US President Donald Trump landed at Kuala Lumpur International Airport in Malaysia on Sunday morning as he kicked off his three-nation tour. President Trump was received by Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar

The video of his dance moves has gone viral on social media, with netizens praising his energetic dance moves. The video shared on X by White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt has amassed over 600k views. The video was captioned, “MUST WATCH: President Trump has ARRIVED in Malaysia!”

Reacting to the post, a user wrote, “Man of the people right there. Notice how the dancers’ energy changes after he joins them(sic).”

Another commented, “Our President’s dance can break ice around the globe (sic).”

“I was waiting for YMCA to start playing(Sic),” joked a third user.

The visit marks the first leg of Trump’s three-nation tour, which also includes stops in Japan and South Korea, as well as a proposed meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping. The US president arrived in Malaysia to attend the ASEAN summit and a ceremony commemorating the signing of an expanded ceasefire agreement between Cambodia and Thailand—two Southeast Asian nations that clashed along their disputed border earlier this year.

Trump has claimed credit for brokering the peace deal, describing it as a key achievement of his administration. In July, following five days of border conflict that left dozens dead and displaced thousands, Trump had warned both Thailand and Cambodia of potential trade repercussions if hostilities continued.

Thailand’s Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul nearly missed the ceremony after the death of Queen Mother Sirikit on Friday but later confirmed his attendance.

In addition to the peace ceremony and ASEAN engagements, Trump is expected to hold bilateral discussions with several world leaders, including Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, focusing on trade and tariff-related issues during the summit weekend.
