KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 23 — Two foreign nationals have become the first individuals in Malaysia to be charged in court for littering under the newly enforced anti-littering law, according to a report by The Star.
RIYADH, May 14 — Donald Trump's first overseas trip since reclaiming the presidency began with his signature style — full of spectacle, grandeur, and fast food.
In Riyadh, Saudi officials greeted the US president with a full-sized mobile McDonald’s truck, a nod to his well-known fondness for the fast-food chain, Newsweek reported.
The sleek trailer was positioned near a media hub highlighting Saudi Arabia's ambitious future projects, including NEOM and its World Cup bid. Journalists at the site were offered fries to sample and encouraged to film the display, though it was unclear if Trump himself would partake.
Additionally, Trump received an unusually warm reception from Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman at the airport, a gesture rich in diplomatic meaning.
This visit marks the beginning of Trump’s efforts to secure substantial investments, with potential figures ranging from US$500 billion to US$2.5 trillion discussed during the trip.
