Trump to Attend ASEAN Summit in Philippines Next Month Before China Visit
U.S. President Donald Trump will attend the ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) Summit in the Philippines next month.
The Philippine presidential palace said on the 14th (local time) that President Trump is scheduled to visit the capital, Manila, to attend next month's ASEAN Summit.
Claire Castro, a spokesperson for the Philippine presidential palace, said at a press conference that day that President Trump's attendance at the ASEAN Summit was "confirmed."
The ASEAN Summit will be held from November 16 to 18 in the Philippines, this year's ASEAN chair.
President Trump's visit to the Philippines will be his first in nine years, since the 2017 ASEAN Summit.

President Trump also attended the ASEAN Summit in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and the APEC Summit in Gyeongju, South Korea, last October.
