Donald Trump has begun an important tour in Asia, which includes meetings with leaders from Malaysia, Japan, and South Korea, having significant implications for the global economy. The American president has expressed openness to a meeting with Kim Jong Un, stating that "he likes" the idea. This tour will include participation in the ASEAN summit in Kuala Lumpur, where Trump will sign trade agreements and will attend the signing of a peace agreement between Thailand and Cambodia.
He will also have meetings with leaders such as Brazilian President Lula da Silva and will discuss with the new Japanese Prime Minister, Sanae Takaichi. The highlight of the tour will be the meeting with Xi Jinping in South Korea, where economic and trade relations will be discussed, in the context of trade tensions between the United States and China. Trump hopes to reach an agreement with the Chinese leader, despite recent challenges related to rare earth exports and threats of additional tariffs.
