Trump's International Travels Mapped

President Trump is scheduled to arrive in India for his first official visit there on Monday and preparations in the country are underway - a little too frantically in the opinion of some local observers.

Trump has visited several countries in Asia (compared to just one in Latin America) and returned to Europe three times in 2019, including two visits to France, making it Trump's most visited country. He has been there four times, including three bilateral visits with President Emmanuel Macron. Germany, on the other hand, also a long-time U.S. ally, has only seen a Trump visit once, for the G20 summit in Hamburg in 2017. A bilateral visit with chancellor Merkel is still not on the agenda, which is highly unusual given the close cooperation of the two countries. Trump has also stopped by at Ramstein airbase in South-West Germany in 2018, but this visit is not counted as a visit to German territory by the State Department.

Another country that Trump has frequented is Japan (two state visits and one summit visit). The most unusual country that Trump has visited is certainly North Korea, which the president walked into for about a minute when meeting Nortk Korean leader Kim Jong-un in the Korean Demilitarized Zone. No other sitting president had stepped foot in the country before and it is not yet clear if that visit will be counted by the Office of the Historian at the State Department.
