US President Donald Trump heads to Japan on Monday, October 27, for the second leg of an Asia tour expected to culminate in a meeting with China's Xi Jinping. The trip, Trump's first swing through the region since returning to office, kicked off in Malaysia on Sunday with a flurry of agreements.
That included rewarding neighbors Cambodia and Thailand with trade agreements after co-signing their ceasefire pact on the sidelines of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) summit in Kuala Lumpur. He also inked a trade and minerals deal with Malaysia, and moved to mend fences with Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva after months of bad blood.
"I think we'll be able to do some pretty good deals," Trump told the leftist leader.
