Asia Becoming Theatre of US-China Competition The year is ending with Trump doing a whistle-stop tour of several Asian countries – Southeast Asian and East Asian this time – signing several trade agreements along the way. Of course, the highlight at the ASEAN conference in Malaysia was the peace agreement between Cambodia and Thailand, one of Trump’s many showpiece peace treaties since taking over as US President in 2025 that he hopes will win him the Nobel Peace Prize.

My thoughts on Trump's recent Asia visit and US-China competition weighing on the region.
