USA, Washington: According to a recent report from the Lowy Institute, Southeast Asian nations that have gained from the US-China trade war may face trade barriers if Donald Trump returns to the presidency. The Sydney-based institute suggests that if Trump were re-elected, these countries could become a low priority for his administration.
