Security and trade will loom large during President Donald Trumps first official visit to Asia, which gets underway Sunday, Nov. 5, 2017, in Japan. Among the world's busiest sealanes, the disputed South China Sea is one of the Asian troublespots, where Trump can showcase American leadership and commitment to the region and edgy allies in a high-profile way. It can also explicitly mirror the lack of it. (AP Photo/Bullit Marquez, File)
