Barack Obama makes his first trip to Asia as a president this week, leaving behing a host of domestic problems with the visit that recognize the region’s economic and diplomatic importance. About the trips include stops in Japan, Singapore, China and South Korea, his message will be simple, says Nicolas Martin at Peterson Institute for international economics.
“Well, I think his broadest objective is to convince Asians that United States is fully committed to the region that we have the agenda that’s
much broader than they saw over the past 8 years, very heavy focused on counter-terrorism.”
Obama's first stop is Japan, where he meets the new prime minister Yukio Hatoyama who has vowed to steer a diplomatic course more independent of Washington. While Japan is seen as getting an easy stop, when Obama heads to the Singapore for the APEC meeting, he will likely face pressure on trade.
“Many Asians, ur, are concerned about what US trade policy will be, and there have been someone alarmed by the fact that the president really hasn’t set up very much revision for what US trade policy isn’t his administration.”
But the critical, like the trip coming to China, his third stop where Obama will have to navigate the complex relationship with the country that is the lagest holder of US debts. Maine Hersaya of the senate for America progress.
“As you say, you know, if you owe the bank one dollar, it’s your problem, if you owe the bank, you know, 3 million, it’s the bank’s problem, so similar with China, we've no interest in trying to use leverage with us, because eventually, they’re the one they own our dallars, it will hurt them if the value of dollar falls.”
Also on the table will be North Korea and Iran’s nuclear ambitions as well as cooperation on Afghanistan.
While Obama enjoys sky high popularity waiting in the countries he is visiting, concrete results may be beside the point, given that Obama is still in his first year in office, and analysts say this trip is mostly about laying the ground work for the future. Deber Leader, back in Reuters. |
