Upon arriving at an elaborate ceremony at Murabba Palace in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, President Trump and crew got into the dancing mood.
Video of the ceremony on Saturday showed Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross, locking arms with some of the performers and holding sabers.

Trump arrived soon after and swayed along to the drumming, chanting and traditional sword dance for a few moments. He was joined by Saudi King Salman for the impending banquet in Riyadh.

Trump landed in Saudi Arabia earlier in the day as he begins his first overseas trip as president. He signed a $110 billion arms deal with Saudi King Salman.
Afterwards, in a joint press conference with Tillerson, Saudi Arabian Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir said that Trump’s visit is a ‘turning point’ in U.S.-Islamic relations.
