US President Donald Trump listens as Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha speaks during a meeting in the Oval Office of the White House on Oct 2. BloombergAs far as US policy toward Southeast Asia is concerned, President Donald Trump's ability to change direction was highly visible during Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha's visit to Washington last week. The original schedule for the prime minister to meet Mr Trump was on July 18, two-and-a-half months ago. Gen Prayut agreed, as he was in no rush and wanted to make sure the trip was a productive one. The prime minister has invited Ivanka to visit Thailand.
