WARSAW: Donald Trump arrived for high-stakes visit to Europe on Wednesday (Jul 5), landing in Poland ahead of his first G20 summit in Hamburg and a closely-watched meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
The still-novice US president begins a four-day swing through Warsaw and Hamburg, where tricky geopolitical currents - from rumbling transatlantic discord to the North Korean nuclear threat - will converge.
Air Force One touched down at 10.15pm (4.15am Singapore time Thursday), kicking off Trump's second foreign trip.
Looming large over the entire visit is Pyongyang's test of a intercontinental ballistic missile that could deliver a nuclear payload to Alaska, a brazen threat to US security.
Tough-talking Trump had previously declared that technological step a red line, and leaders from rival and allied powers alike will be watching closely to see whether his threats were bluster, or a harbinger of action to come.
