“Trump Changes his Mind on his First EAS Meeting in Asia” by Tang Siew Mun

 

 2017/67, 7 November 2017
One thing we have come to expect from US President Donald Trump is to expect the unexpected. A case in point is Trump’s last minute change of mind on his participation in the East Asia Summit (EAS) on 14 November 2017. The Trump Administration scored some major brownie points when Vice President Mike Pence announced in April this year that the president will attend the summit. Just as ASEAN prepares to roll out the red carpet to welcome Trump on his first presidential visit to Southeast Asia, the Washington Post broke the news on 24 October that Trump would in fact skip the EAS. The matter came full circle when Trump made the announcement before embarking on his five-country Asia visit that he would attend the EAS after all.
