Najib, who was invited to the United States by the White House, is no stranger to Trump as they had met and played golf a few years ago. But this is the first time Trump has hosted Najib as President and, going by the treatment given, one senior Malaysian official in the meeting at the White House declared the trip “a huge success”. “Malaysia is a massive investor in the United States in the form of stocks and bonds, and the stock exchange. So that’s a very important thing to the United States,” Trump said. Najib revealed that the Employees Provident Fund, with US$7bil (RM29.3bil) investment in the United States currently, intended to invest an additional US$3bil to US$4bil ((RM12.6bil to RM16.76bil) to support infrastructure redevelopment in the United States.
