As the Asia-Pacific Economic Co-operation (Apec) summit kicks off in Vietnam, the focus is on US President Donald Trump\u2019s speech later in the day.<\/p>\n

Mr Trump is expected to outline the future US role in the region when it comes to trade and growth.<\/p>\n

His \u201cAmerica First\u201d slogan and withdrawal from a regional trade deal is seen as move away from free trade.<\/p>\n

He has also vowed to correct a huge trade imbalance with China and Japan.<\/p>\n

Apec brings together 21 economies from both sides of the Pacific \u2013 the equivalent of about 60% of the world\u2019s GDP.<\/p>\n

Since taking office, President Trump has pulled the US out of the Trans Pacific Partnership, a major trade deal with 12 Apec member countries, arguing it would hurt US economic interests.<\/p>\n

Mr Trump is due make a speech at 06:30 GMT. He will be followed by Chinese President Xi Jinping.<\/p>\n
