VIENTIANE, Laos — U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken will make the case for the Biden administration’s expanded commitment to Asia and the Indo-Pacific region more broadly as he visits Laos, Vietnam, Japan, the Philippines, Singapore and Mongolia this week and next. The trip comes as the 2024 U.S.
Although there was no discussion of Blinken cancelling his travel plans after Biden’s announcement, his time and meetings in Laos have been cut nearly in half since the original trip announcement, and two brief stops in Vietnam and Mongolia have been added. “Foreign leaders and adversaries now are not only facing new uncertainty about the outcome of the election that seemed Trump’s for the taking, but uncertainty as well about how the policies of a victorious Democratic candidate would differ from Biden,” said Danny Russel, a former assistant secretary of state for East Asia and the Pacific in the Obama administration who is currently vice president of the Asia Society Policy Institute in New York.
