Donald Trump has begun a weeklong trip through Asia amid heightened trade tensions, following a renewed tariff dispute with Canada and fresh sanctions on Russia. The journey will take him to Malaysia, Japan, and South Korea, culminating in a high-stakes meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping as the trade war between the United States and China intensifies. Observers, including former White House officials, warn that the trip carries significant risks, with concerns that Trump may make major concessions to China in an effort to secure a new trade deal. The president's recent moves, including escalating tariffs on Canada, Mexico, and China, have drawn sharp responses and further complicated international relations. Trump's visit is seen as a critical test of his administration's foreign policy and trade strategy in the region.
