Washington: Donald Trump will travel to Asia in November for the first time after becoming president, stopping in Japan, South Korea, China, Vietnam and the Philippines on a trip anticipated to be subjugated by the North Korea nuclear threat.

Joined by his wife Melania, Trump will pass through 3-14 November. His trip will include attending two major summits, the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum in Vietnam and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations conclave in the Philippines.

Trump’s attendance at the Manila summit had been in doubt until recent days, with officials saying he was reluctant to show support for Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte, who has been responsible for a number of anti-American outbursts.

A US official said Asian leaders who met Trump at the United Nations General Assembly in New York last week helped plead with him to attend in unity with key Asian associates.

An Asian diplomat welcomed Trump’s decision to visit Manila “because that reassures the region that Asia policy is not just about North Korea, it’s about Southeast Asia as well.”

The diplomat said Trump’s decision to withdraw from the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal early this year had raised questions about the administration’s obligation to the region, but visits by senior officials, including the secretaries of state, defense and commerce, and Trump’s planned trip, showed Washington wished-for to remain engaged.
