MANILA, Philippines - US President Donald Trump is expected to attend the ASEAN-US Special Summit in Manila on November 17, the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) said Wednesday, November 11.
Trump is among the foreign leaders expected to join the 49th ASEAN Summit and Related Summits, which the Philippines will host from November 15 to 18 at the Philippine International Convention Center in Pasay City.
