President Donald Trump has been out of the US for nearly a week, gracing with his presence Saudi Arabia, Israel, Italy, and now Belgium. In just a couple of days, the US president has met with a long list of foreign leaders—from King Salman of Saudi Arabia, to Palestinian authority president Mahmoud Abbas, to Pope Francis, to the leaders of NATO. Since May 19, he’s visited some of the most strategic locations for today’s international affairs.

This has been a spectacularly gif-worthy trip. If a picture is worth a thousand words—then perhaps an animated photo is worth all of the words. Decide for yourself, and we’ll keep updating the post as more iconic images emerge.
Correction: An earlier version of this story misnamed the Montenegrin prime minister as Milo Đukanović, who was the predecessor of Duško Marković. It also inaccurately called Emomali Rakhmon the “de-facto” president of Tajikistan.
