President Trump is heading abroad on his first foreign trip, with stops in Saudi Arabia, Israel and Vatican City, among others. Susan Glasser, chief international affairs columnist at POLITICO and host of The Global Politico podcast, reports on how President Trump’s first foreign trip as president is going.

"I think the image of Donald Trump dancing with the Saudi sheikhs in an all-male dance party," said Glasser. "It just summed up where we are… it sends a stark message about human rights and values."
