 Kim Kardashian Was Warned That Meeting Donald Trump Could End Her Career, But Her Response Was Unexpected! Kim Kardashian wasn't willing to let public opinion stop her from fighting for people behind bars. According to revelations in the new book Citizen Kim: The Woman Who Created the Future by Jonathan Van Meter, Kim faced serious warnings from people around her when she planned to visit the White House to meet President Donald Trump and advocate for prisoners. At the time, some people reportedly told her that meeting Trump could ruin her reputation and end her career. But Kim wasn't interested in protecting her image at the expense of someone else's freedom. She reportedly responded: "It's my reputation over someone's life? Weigh that out."

 Taiwan president arrives in Eswatini after trip initially cancelled

Lai on Saturday said only that his initial visit had been "suspended due to unexpected external forces".


But "after days of secret arrangements by the diplomatic and national security teams, we arrived successfully today (Saturday)," he said in a Facebook post.


"I hope this trip will contribute to even deeper friendship between Taiwan and Eswatini, thanks to closer economic, agricultural, cultural and educational links, as well as promote Taiwan's international cooperation," he added.


Overflight permissions


Lai was originally scheduled to visit the southern Africa country from April 22 to 26, but he had to cancel the trip after various African countries revoked their overflight permissions.


China subsequently expressed its "high appreciation" to African countries that had revoked overflight permits to the Taiwanese leader.


"Relevant countries maintained support for the one-China principle, completely in line with... the basic norms of international relations, China expresses high appreciation," the Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson had said in a statement.


China maintains that Taiwan is part of its territory and opposes the self-governed island's participation in international organisations and its exchanges with other countries.


Eswatini, formerly known as Swaziland, is among Taiwan's 12 remaining allies that still recognise its claim to statehood, after Beijing convinced others to sever diplomatic relations with Taipei.
