President Trump has made it clear he's not happy with several U.S. partners in the Asia Pacific, naming South Korea, Australia and Japan. But when it comes to the politics of energy, regional partners are making their own plans. HPR's Bill Dorman has more in today's Asia Minute.

President Trump's White House address last night was aimed at the American people, but he was not the only global leader to address a national audience.

The war in the Middle East continues to generate responses from around the world. One of them is a spike in the use of coal — especially in Asia.

The news from the Middle East continues to be a mix of threats and talk of negotiations. And the ripple effects continue to spread around the world — including to the Asia Pacific.

The war in the Middle East is having ripple effects across the Asia Pacific. Some of those are expected, but at least one case is a surprise.

The continuing war in the Middle East is hitting economies around the world. One concern here in Hawaiʻi is the impact on the price of jet fuel — and that's already having some powerful effects in Asia.

Global ripples continue to spread from the continuing war with Iran. Many of those impacts are reaching the Asia Pacific — and that will be one focus at the White House later this week.

It was 40 years ago that the movement known as the People Power Revolution overthrew the government of President Ferdinand Marcos. Today, his son is president, and the country remains a crucial part of U.S. policy in Asia.

The global trade system is facing a week of uncertainty when it comes to tariffs. And that's especially true when it comes to Asia. HPR's Bill Dorman has more.

Tariffs remain a key part of the Trump Administrationʻs foreign policy. Right now, Japan and South Korea are taking different approaches to deal with them.
