PRESIDENTIAL HATS:

Muslim men throughout Egypt and North Africa.

Representing the United States As Chief Diplomat, the President travels around the world representing the United States. While on these trips, he will attend meetings and ceremonies, meet the leaders and people of other countries, and sometimes have time for sight-seeing.
