President Trump has invited Southeast Asian leaders to a 'special summit' in the United States early next year after skipping their annual ASEAN gathering.

Monday’s meeting with the U.S. would normally would be attended by presidents or prime ministers. In a pointed adherence to diplomatic protocol, seven of 10 Southeast Asian countries sent their foreign ministers instead. Trump’s absence from the meetings left plenty of room for China and other regional powers to raise their own profiles.
Despite the apparent downgrading of the ASEAN gathering by Trump, U.S. businesses and government were seeking to emphasize the American commitment to the region with a privately-led conference attended by about 1,000 business and government officials.
