Hell be speaking to the military leaders we know that he met on the sidelines of that ossie on meeting down in the philippines he saw on songs who cheat they didnt make any statements on camera they just had a photo opportunity so he had a sideline meeting with her so most likely hell focus on and theres not too much word jane coming out from either the ministry of Foreign Affairs here in myanmar or the u.

Flag u. S. President donald trump is true that twelve day visit rather to asia has been his longest foreign to yet it was aimed at getting support from allies and pressurising north korea to give up its Nuclear Program can be helped reports. He promised to speak frankly to the chinese reassure japan over is north korean fears and deliver a strong message on trade in the end president Donald Trumps messages were muddled at best.

S. Election when meeting with russian president Vladimir Putin every time he sees me he says i didnt do that and i believe i really believe that when he tells me that he means it that prompted widespread criticism forcing trump to clarify his remarks during a press conference i believe that he feels that he and russia did not meddle in the election as to whether i believe it or not im with our agencies in the philippines the trumpet ministrations said it raised the issue of president rod rico do territories human rights abuses but that claim was later denied by two terror taste spokesman still donald trump is promising a major policy announcement on trade on wednesday a potential chance to correct what many believe may have been a missed opportunity abroad kimberly held at aljazeera washington lets go back to the meeting with the leaders have agreed to start talks on drafting a new guideline for the South China Sea with china the Philippine ForeignMinistry Says countries will negotiate an effective code of conduct over the long displayed territory but it gave no details on when the talks will begin for more than a decade leaders of the ten member bloc of struggle to reach a deal with china which claims most of the strategic waterway.
