Postcards From Asia: Trump’s 12-Day Visit, in Images
NY Times, Nov 8, 2017, Doug Mills

Five countries: Japan, South Korea, China, Vietnam and the Philippines. Eleven days — no, make that 12; the trip was extended by a day at the last minute. And for me and other news photographers, countless chances to capture one of the most famous faces in the world in new settings.

President Trump and his entourage went wheels-up from Joint Base Andrews in Maryland on Friday, making a stop in Hawaii before heading to Tokyo. The days have been long. Reporters and photographers covering Mr. Trump have generally started work early in the morning, finishing around 10 at night.

If you've missed this, the President's trip to Asia has been filled with meetings on NK and trade and has been meaningful and very successful. This article presents the first five days of this marathon trip in photos, capturing some of the highlights.

Even the New York Times gave him kudos on the Asia trip.

But in China, where Mr. Trump arrived Wednesday, he has acquired a legion of admirers who hail him as a straight-talking politician and business mogul with a knack for deal-making.

“He’s true to himself,” said Dai Xiang, a resident of the eastern province of Jiangsu who belongs to an online group of more than 23,000 people that exchanges news and commentary about Mr. Trump. “He’s real, unlike other politicians.”

And isn't that why the both of us were drawn to him in the first place?

Remarks by President Trump, Prime Minister Turnbull of Australia, and Prime Minister Abe of Japan Before Trilateral Meeting | Manila, Philippines

Sofitel Philippine Plaza
Manila, Philippines

11:10 A.M. PHT

PRESIDENT TRUMP: Thank you very much. It's great to be with Prime Minister Turnbull and Prime Minister Abe of Australia and of Japan. You know them well; I know them well.

We've had many meetings. We're having another one right now, primarily focused on trade, North Korea, other subjects. But we're very far along. The dialogue has been very good, I think, for all countries. And we look forward to the continuation of that dialogue.

Mr. Prime Minister, would you like to say something?

PRIME MINISTER TURNBULL: Thank you, Mr. President. It is great to be with you and Prime Minister Abe. We're working very closely together. We've got the same values and the same focus on ensuring that the North Korean regime comes to its senses and stops its reckless provocation and threats of conflict in our region.

Peace and stability have underpinned the prosperity of billions of people over many decades, and we're going to work together to ensure we maintain it.

PRIME MINISTER ABE: (As interpreted.) So for three of us, the immediate challenge is the issue of North Korea. And also, three very close partners with each other -- Japan, the United States, and Australia -- share fundamental values, as well as strategic interest.

So I do hope that we are going to have a meaningful discussion, particularly on the issue of North Korea so as to ensure regional peace and stability.

And also, I think the key for us is to ensure very close trilateral cooperation so as to bring peace and stability on the ground. So I do look forward to having a very productive discussion with the two leaders.

PRESIDENT TRUMP: In addition, a lot of things are happening on trade. And I'll be announcing pretty much what happened here, and also with other meetings, including China and South Korea and lots of other places. We'll be announcing that, for the most part, in a statement. I'll make it from the White House, as opposed to from here. We'll probably do that on Wednesday. We'll give you a chance to sleep. Because the press, I have to tell you, I'm very impressed -- you've stayed with us. You were able to hang in there. I'm very proud of you. (Laughter.) But it's not finished. Steve, it's not finished. You have one day left.
