List of international presidential trips made by Donald Trump explained

This is a list of international presidential trips made by Donald Trump, the 45th president of the United States. Donald Trump made 19 international trips to 24 countries (in addition to visiting the West Bank) during his presidency, which began on January 20, 2017 and ended on January 20, 2021.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, he did not make any international trips after February 2020 (and there were no presidential trips overall by both him and his successor Joe Biden until June 2021.) Therefore, Trump's international travel was the least amount of any president since the introduction of the Boeing VC-25, first used during Ronald Reagan's presidency. He did not visit Oceania, the Caribbean, or Africa and spent only three days in Latin America.

Summary

The number of visits per country where President Trump traveled are:
