(2 Aug 2016) The prime minister of Singapore joined President Barack Obama at the White House Tuesday to celebrate the 50th anniversary of U.S. diplomatic relations with the Southeast Asian city state.
But the two leaders will also discuss a shared cause with less rosy prospects - the Trans-Pacific Partnership free trade deal.
Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong was greeted by an elaborate welcome ceremony as his limousine pulled in to the South Lawn of the White House.
The Prime Minister greeted crowds of families and children, taking time to take photos with his phone and holding babies in the crowd.
Hundreds of U.S. military members in blue and white uniforms formed an honor guard, some carrying bayoneted rifles. A canon fired repeatedly as a military band played the two countries' national anthems.
