U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris arrived in Singapore on Aug. 22 as part of a Southeast Asia trip that will also take her to Vietnam. Her trip, which was announced last month, now has an added sense of urgency, following the Taliban’s seizure of Afghanistan.
Regional security, the COVID-19 pandemic, climate change, and efforts to promote a rules-based international order are among the issues that Harris will discuss with leaders of both Singapore and Vietnam, according to the U.S. Embassy in Singapore.
