U.S. President Donald Trump is scheduled to visit three Asian countries—Japan, South Korea, and Malaysia—later this month as part of a diplomatic tour. According to U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Besent, Trump will first travel to Japan before attending the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Summit in South Korea, which begins on October 31. He is expected to meet Chinese President Xi Jinping there amid ongoing trade tensions between Washington and Beijing. Prior to that, Trump will participate in the ASEAN Summit in Kuala Lumpur from October 26 to 28, where he will witness the signing of a peace agreement between Thailand and Cambodia following their recent border conflict. The visit underscores Washington’s strategic engagement in the Asia-Pacific region during a period of shifting global alliances and economic competition.
