Barron Trump briefly stole the spotlight at the White House on Thursday when Donald Trump, hosting Japan's Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi in Washington, turned their official greeting into an impromptu update on his youngest son, according to a professional lip reader who reviewed footage of the exchange.
The meeting between Trump and Takaichi came as the president juggles a crowded political and diplomatic calendar, including tensions in the Middle East and his continuing prominence in Republican politics. Yet by all accounts, talk of Barron Trump still manages to cut through, even at the gates of global diplomacy.
