00:10Azmi Hassan from the Academy of Nusantara said that Trump is more likely to communicate with leaders of countries facing challenges with other countries, or those affected by US foreign policy, such as Mexico, Colombia and Canada.
00:25According to Azmi, as long as Malaysia is not in Trump's radar and avoids unnecessary attention, the country does not need to worry.
00:33Azmi also argued that Trump will not be a welcome guest at the ASEAN Summit, regardless of who invited him.
00:44On the contrary, he said that the presence of US Ambassador Marco Rubio at the ASEAN Summit was sufficient.
00:52Meanwhile, O Yi San from the Singapore Institute of International Affairs believes that Trump, who is now very busy, is not in a hurry to receive a call from Malaysia,
01:03a country that does not so much divide the United States in the trade war between China and that country.
