The White House on Monday released details of President Trump's upcoming trip to Asia, which will include stops in Japan, South Korea, China, Vietnam, and the Philippines in early November.
"The president's travel will underscore his commitment to longstanding United States alliances and partnerships, and reaffirm United States leadership in promoting a free and open Indo-Pacific region," the statement said.
The trip was first announced Sept. 29, but Monday's update states Trump will start the Nov. 3-14 travel with a briefing from the U.S. Pacific Command in Hawaii. He will also visit Pearl Harbor and the USS Arizona Memorial during his first trip as president to the Pacific island.
