Trump aims to start his Asia trip with dealmaking in Malaysia

Trump aims to finalize a trade deal with Malaysia and oversee a ceasefire between Cambodia and Thailand amid recent border conflicts, boosting his international dealmaker image.

  • On Sunday, President Donald Trump will finalize a trade agreement with Malaysia and oversee an expanded Cambodia‑Thailand ceasefire in Kuala Lumpur, arriving around 10 a.m. to meet Anwar Ibrahim, Malaysian Prime Minister.
  • Earlier this year, five days of combat killed dozens and displaced hundreds of thousands, prompting ceasefire talks as President Donald Trump threatened to withhold trade agreements from Cambodia and Thailand.
  • Trump said `I think I owe you a trip,` while emphasizing his visit is the first stop of a three-country swing including Japan and South Korea, with a meeting planned with Xi Jinping.
  • The joint declaration to be signed on Sunday will commit Thailand and Cambodia to renew relations and address Thai concerns about landmines and heavy artillery along the border.
  • Trump aims to burnish his deal‑making reputation by finalizing accords on the trip, but details have been scarce since leaving Washington, leaving longstanding issues unresolved.
