Trump will seek to change the political climate through this foreign trip. He is expected to hold a historic trilateral meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin. It will discuss the three countries'nuclear arsenals. Trump has long claimed to have a good relationship with the leaders of two of America's biggest rivals. However, he has so far not been able to achieve any major breakthrough with these two leaders. Trump will first travel to the Philippines. He will meet leaders of Southeast Asian countries on Tuesday. These countries want help from the United States to counter China's growing assertiveness in the region. Then on Wednesday, Trump will travel to China. He will attend the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit there.
