DeSantis' Global Tour Fuels Presidential Ambitions.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is embarking on an international trade mission to Japan, South Korea, Israel, and the United Kingdom to bolster his foreign policy credentials and create partnerships to boost the economy. DeSantis is expected to announce his 2024 presidential bid next month and is facing headwinds, including attacks from former President Donald Trump. The Florida governor is scheduled to meet with government officials and business leaders during his trip, including two Asian prime ministers and Israeli companies interested in investing in Florida. DeSantis needs to avoid making news of the wrong kind overseas to prevent any political damage.
