In 1984, former prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad visited the White House to meet with the then US president Ronald Reagan.
Similar to their successors – Najib Abdul Razak's meeting with Donald Trump - Mahathir and Reagan both issued joint statements, and both did not take questions from the press.
However, unlike Najib and Trump who made their speech at the White House Cabinet Room, Mahathir and Reagan issued their statement from the more prestigious East Room.
