In yet another bold display of strength and unmatched dealmaking ability, President Donald J. Trump kicked off his historic Asia tour with a powerhouse visit to Malaysia — brokering historic peace accords, slashing trade barriers, and locking in game-changing critical minerals deals.
Peace Deals
- President Trump brokered the Kuala Lumpur Peace Accords. Thanks to the decisive leadership and pursuit of peace by the Trump Administration, the leaders of Cambodia and Thailand joined President Trump in signing an historic peace agreement to end the military conflict between the two countries — saving millions of lives.
Trade Deals
- President Trump signed historic trade deals with Malaysia and Cambodia. Under the two agreements, tariffs will be eliminated or significantly reduced across a massive swath of U.S. exports, non-tariff barriers will be addressed, and market access will be expanded for U.S. products.
- President Trump inked reciprocal trade frameworks with 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.
Critical Minerals Deals
- President Trump signed transformative deals with Malaysia. In addition to securing groundbreaking investments worth billions, the two countries reached a critical minerals deal that will expand trade and investment, helping diversify global supply chains and enhancing U.S. national security.
- President Trump signed a critical minerals deal with Thailand. This will promote partnerships between U.S. and Thai companies, increase global supply chain resilience, and mitigate the negative impact of anti-competitive behavior and unfair trade practices.
