A: Hey there! Guess what? Trump's in Malaysia now, starting his Asia tour. First stop, Japan and South Korea after this.

B: Really? I didn't know that. Why Malaysia first?

A: Well, he attended a peace agreement signing between Thailand and Cambodia. Seems like he wants to show he helped end their border clashes.

B: Wow, sounds like he's trying to be a mediator! What's next on the agenda?

A: He's also going to meet with leaders of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). They believe Trump wants to increase cooperation with each ASEAN nation to counter China's growing influence.

B: That sounds tricky! And when does he reach Japan?

A: Starting from Monday, he'll spend three days in Japan. He plans to meet Emperor Naruhito and talk with the new Japanese Prime Minister Takaichi Sanae.

B: Cool, what about South Korea?

A: After Japan, he heads to South Korea on Wednesday. There, he'll chat with their President Lee Jae-Myung, and even meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping.
