<h2>A Cultural Connection on the Tarmac</h2>
<p>Trump wasn&rsquo;t dancing alone. He joined a group of colorfully dressed Malaysian performers showcasing the nation&rsquo;s diverse cultural roots, from the indigenous communities of Borneo to Malays, Chinese, and Indians. The display embodied Malaysia&rsquo;s multicultural spirit, and the President&rsquo;s participation added a rare touch of warmth to global diplomacy.</p>
<p>Adding to the moment, Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim stepped forward and joined the President in a brief but memorable exchange of dance steps. For a few minutes, politics gave way to pure rhythm, a reminder that sometimes, music speaks louder than policy.</p>
