World leaders head to Asia for back-to-back diplomatic summits
This week, Asia is the focal point for global diplomacy as leaders gather for significant summits in China, the Philippines, and Cambodia. The Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) meeting kicks off in Shenzhen, where Donald Trump is set to attend.
