Article snippet: President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump returned to the White House Saturday night, capping off the president's first trip abroad since taking office. Trump hailed the excursion, which took him across five different countries, as a "home run." After exiting Marine One on the South Lawn of the White House Saturday night, Trump waved to reporters, but made no remarks. His public schedule is empty on Sunday. During his overseas trip, Trump saw his first opportunity to explain his "America first" approach to foreign policy to an international audience. In Riyadh, his first stop, he secured a massive arms deal with Saudi Arabia. And in Belgium, he reiterated calls for NATO members to increase defense spending. But the president also steered clear of direct interactions with members of the press, and senior officials largely refrained from commenting on the controversies and scandals swirling back in Washington. Awaiting Trump in Washington is a slew of controversies that have emerged in his absence, including the revelation that his son-in-law and senior adviser Jared Kushner is a person of interest in a law enforcement investigation into possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia.
