Donald Trump embarked on a high-stakes Asian tour to ease trade tensions with China and other regional countries affected by his tariffs. He will meet partners in Malaysia at an ASEAN meeting and later discuss with Japan's new Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi. The most significant meeting will be with Chinese President Xi Jinping during the APEC summit in South Korea, marking their first face-to-face since Trump's return to the White House amidst tense Sino-American relations.
