Trump to visit Japan, South Korea, China

Donald Trump will visit Japan, South Korea and China but is yet to decide if he'll attend APEC in Vietnam.

President Donald Trump will visit Japan, South Korea and China in November, a trip he added would possibly include Vietnam for the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) conference.

Trump, who has been focused on working with China to try to curb North Korea's nuclear program, noted he had been invited to the US-ASEAN summit in the Philippines, but on Thursday he was not definitive about his attendance.

"We'll probably all be going over (to Asia) in a group in November. And we'll be doing Japan, South Korea, possibly Vietnam with the conference," Trump said.

When asked about the ASEAN summit in the Philippines, Trump acknowledged he had been invited, but said: "We're going to see."

Vice President Mike Pence announced in April during a visit to Jakarta that Trump would attend the summits in the Philippines and Vietnam.
