President Donald Trump has been winning, winning, winning for America so far on his trip to Asia, netting historic deals left and right as he works his way toward a critical meeting with the Emperor of Japan on Monday.
While President Trump has an impressive cadre of trade and peace deals under his belt already in just the first nine months of this second term, he managed to broker a handful of new deals in Asia over the weekend.
According to the White House, President Trump brokered the Kuala Lumpur Peace Accords between Cambodia and Thailand, securing an agreement to end the military conflict between these two nations.
He also inked a series of trade deals. The first two trade agreements he signed established a trade relationship with Thailand and Cambodia, reducing tariffs on U.S. exports and expanding market access for U.S. products.
Both Malaysia and Cambodia have agreed to reduce or eliminate all tariffs on U.S. goods, with a special focus on agricultural products and industrial goods flowing into both countries from America, per these deals.
President Trump also signed a reciprocal trade framework with both Thailand and Vietnam. “Under the two frameworks, the two countries will address tariff barriers on a range of U.S. goods and provide preferential market access for U.S. industrial and agricultural exports,” the White House stated.
As if that wasn’t enough, President Trump additionally signed critical minerals deals with Thailand and Malaysia.
“Just leaving Malaysia, a great and very vibrant Country,” the president wrote on Sunday, upon leaving the country.
He added, “Signed major Trade and Rare Earth Deals, and yesterday, most importantly, signed the Peace Treaty between Thailand and Cambodia. NO WAR! Millions of lives saved. Such an honor to have gotten this done. Now, off to Japan!!!”
According to the U.S. Mission to ASEAN, the deal between the U.S. and Malaysia focuses on American purchasing of up to $3.4 billion in liquefied natural gas, as well as $42.6 million in U.S. coal sales to Malaysia.
Malaysia has also committed to purchasing 30 Boeing aircraft and up to $150 billion in U.S. tech like data center equipment and semiconductors.
