Global Leaders Push for Stronger Trade Ties as Trump Leaves ASEAN Summit

                        Leaders attend the 28th ASEAN Plus Three Summit in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia


World leaders meeting in Malaysia turned their focus to strengthening economic and trade relations after U.S. President Donald Trump departed the ASEAN summit to continue his Asia tour.

During his visit, Trump oversaw the signing of four regional trade agreements and an expanded ceasefire pact between Cambodia and Thailand. However, the White House confirmed that steep U.S. tariffs on Cambodia, Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam remain in place, though some exemptions may be considered.

With Trump en route to Japan, discussions among ASEAN members and global partners shifted toward reinforcing cooperation in the face of ongoing tariff pressures. China, in particular, pressed for more open trade and deeper regional ties, while leaders from Brazil, Canada, and the European Union emphasized the importance of multilateral collaboration.

The summit highlighted both the challenges and opportunities facing Southeast Asia as it navigates between U.S. trade policies and China’s push for greater economic influence.
