Trump's Malaysia Visit Sparks Major Protest at Asean Summit
Former US President Donald Trump is set to attend the Asean Summit in Malaysia from October 26 to October 28. This has been confirmed by Malaysia's Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan. However, his visit has sparked plans for a major demonstration against him.
The protest, announced by PAS deputy president Datuk Seri Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man in Parliament, is a response to Trump's support for Israel and his role in sending weapons to the country. While the details of the demonstration, including its organisers and exact timing, remain unclear, it is expected to take place during the summit.
Trump's attendance at the Asean Summit is significant as it will be his first visit to Southeast Asia since leaving office in 2021. The summit brings together leaders from the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean) and other world leaders to discuss regional issues.
Trump's visit to Malaysia is expected to draw a significant protest, highlighting regional sentiments against US policies towards Israel. Despite the demonstration, Trump's attendance at the Asean Summit underscores his continued engagement with global politics.
