The nascent realignment in Southeast Asia, which the United Nations outlined in a recent report on the region’s shifting trade landscape, is part of a dramatic disruption in the post-World War II U.S.-led global order. It’s a geopolitical development that could make the long-elusive U.S. pivot to Asia even more out of reach.

The Basel Action Network said at least 10 U.S. companies were exporting used electronics to countries that aren't always prepared to safely handle the toxic metals they contain.

President Trump plans to attend a summit in Malaysia before meeting the new Japanese prime minister in Tokyo and talking to Chinese President Xi Jinping in Korea.

The prime minister will attend two meetings and visit three countries as part of his plan to wean Canada off its dependence on the U.S.

Southeast Asia was one of the biggest winners from United States President Donald Trump’s trade war with China in 2018, luring manufacturers to the region to avoid new tariffs on Chinese goods. It benefitted from investment, tax revenues and technology transfers that came with the expanding “China Plus One” supply chain concept.

From the South China Sea to the Taiwan Strait, Asia’s security order is in flux. Japan’s dramatic and unprecedented shift in defence policy is reshaping Southeast Asia’s strategic calculus — a change that Southeast Asian states cannot afford to ignore.

A report by an environmental group says millions of tons of discarded US electronics are being shipped overseas each month.

Trump’s tariffs are squeezing margins, re-routing supply chains and forcing companies to wean themselves off the US market.
