The history of the 21st century will be written in Asia, and the United States intends to be part of it, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio declared in Kuala Lumpur during the foreign ministerial meeting of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean) that ended on Saturday.

Rubio said the U.S. tariffs imposed on many Asian countries, including the heaviest levies on China, were a top complaint at the summit.

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Thursday that Asian nations might get “better” tariff rates than the rest of the world. He was attending ASEAN talks focused on Washington’s trade war. Rubio’s visit to Malaysia came after US President Donald Trump threatened this week to impose punitive tariffs on more than 20 countries.

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio says there are “areas of potential cooperation” between Washington and Beijing.

The two major powers vied to push their agendas in Asia at a time of simmering tension over a U.S. trade tariffs offensive.
