At the ASEAN summit in Kuala Lumpur, President Donald Trump aims to seal a trade deal with Malaysia and attend the signing of an expanded Cambodia–Thailand ceasefire he says he helped broker. His display of economic leverage is credited with spurring talks after deadly border clashes, though a Thai official cautioned the work is just beginning. Trump will meet Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, skip a meeting with Canada’s Mark Carney amid tariff tensions, and pursue progress with China’s Xi Jinping on fentanyl and soybeans, while signaling confidence about agreements with Japan and South Korea.
