President Trump participates in a peace treaty, trade and critical mineral agreement signing with the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Cambodia and the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Thailand.
President Trump was the witness signatory for a declaration of peace and security between Cambodia and Thailand.
We, the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Cambodia and the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Thailand, as witnessed by the President of the United States of America and the Prime Minister of Malaysia, having met in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, on October 26, 2025, declare the following:
We reaffirm the unwavering commitment to peace and security between our two countries — as declared in Putrajaya, Malaysia, on July 28, 2025 — and reiterate our firm commitment to refrain from the threat or use of force, peaceful settlement of disputes, and respect for international boundary and of international law, for the promotion of peace, security, stability, and prosperity in the region on the basis of mutual respect for the independence, sovereignty, equality, territorial integrity, and national identity of our respective nations.

Here’s the audio of President Trump discussing his trip to Asia to attend the ASEAN and APEC summits in Malaysia and South Korea respectively.
President Trump is anticipated to meet with Chinese Chairman Xi Jinping in South Korea and there is a rumor that Trump and North Korea leader Kim Jong-un might meet somewhere. President Trump even made mention that if media put out the word, he would be willing to meet with Chairman Kim at the DMZ while he is in South Korea. Audio Below:

There has been a slight bit of ambiguity in President Trump’s schedule as he heads to Asia for the first time in his second term. The President will attend the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) summit in Malaysia first. The focus of President Trump and the ASEAN nations will be economics and regional stability. Then President Trump will then head to Japan.
Washington and Tokyo reached a trade agreement earlier this year, which included the promise of $550 billion of investments in U.S. projects. Interestingly, Japan is in a moment of political transition, as Sanae Takaichi was elected to be the country’s first female prime minister. Takaichi is a protégé of Shinzo Abe, a former prime minister and dear friend of President Trump. The meeting between Takaichi and Trump will likely hold a lot of very positive energy for both leaders; there is great respect.
President Trump will then head to South Korea, which is hosting this year’s Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit. President Trump has said he’ll sit down with Chinese Chairman Xi Jinping while he’s there for a much-anticipated meeting. Additionally, President Trump will be discussing tariffs on South Korean autos and directly addressing stalled trade negotiations. There is also a possibility for President Trump to visit North Korea’s Kim Jong-un and reconnect after several years of separation. There is a lot of potential for this overall visit to Asia.

At 36:50 of the video below (prompted), President Trump takes questions from the assembled press pool. WATCH:
.
I watched some of this live and thought to myself these reporters are really silly now.
One of the questions was asking President Trump if he planned on getting $230 million from the DOJ for targeting him. Trump had no idea what the “journalist” was talking about and asked them to repeat the question three times because it didn’t make sense. Essentially, he laughed it off. Then the New York Times comes out with a story headlined: “Trump Said to Demand Justice Dept. Pay Him $230 Million for Past Cases,” according to “people familiar with the matter.”
These people are nuts.

Australia represents one of the intelligence operations known as the Five-Eyes network. Unfortunately, as noted during the COVID-19 fiasco, Australia is also the petri dish for global intelligence services to test the limits of government power and control over the citizens in western nations.
After an Australian reporter asked President Trump if he had any concerns with Prime Minister Anthony Albanese’s administration, including Australian Ambassador Kevin Rudd’s past comments about him, President Trump said “I don’t know anything about him.” Ambassador Rudd replied that the comments were made “before I took this position, Mr. President.”
