US President Donald Trump speaks to the media in the Press Briefing Room at the White House in Washington DC, June 27, 2025. According to the author, to understand why Trump picked such figures for Malaysia and Singapore, one must return to the roots of Trumpism itself: real estate. The way Trump sees cities, countries, and continents is shaped by a developer’s eye. Malaysia, with its vast land, growing Muslim population, and untapped economic corridors, is viewed as a high-potential asset. Singapore, with its polished infrastructure and elite financial services, is seen as a turnkey opportunity for influence and leverage. — Reuters pic
