""I have ended seven unending wars. They said they were unendable. You're never going to get them solved,""
""No president or prime minister, and for that matter no other country, has ever done anything close to that, and I did it in just seven months. It's never happened before. There's never been anything like that.""
President Trump will travel to Asia for a nearly weeklong trip that includes a high‑stakes meeting with Chinese leader Xi Jinping on the sidelines of the APEC summit in Korea and visits to Malaysia and Japan. The trip takes place amid an unresolved U.S. government shutdown and escalating U.S.‑China trade tensions, while trade agreements with Japan and Korea remain unfinished. A border dispute between Thailand and Cambodia erupted over the summer, killing dozens before a ceasefire. Trump threatened higher tariffs if the fighting continued and will preside over a Cambodia‑Thailand peace agreement at the ASEAN summit in Kuala Lumpur. A U.S. official said they do not expect China to participate in the peace.
