00:07No worries, fam. We got you.
00:10With the new round of tariffs looming, ASEAN is committing to hustling harder together,
00:14with more intra-ASEAN trade and a digital economy deal in the works.
00:18In security, ASEAN is in its influencer era.
00:21China agreed, no nukes, no cap.

00:29And Moscow might be on board too.

00:34US, China, Russia all in the house with America's new top dog, Marco Rubio,
00:38trying to calm nerves after their new tariff announcement failed the vibe check.
00:42In a wild plot twist, he even met China's Foreign Minister Wang Yi on the sidelines.

00:58ASEAN summit.
00:59It's possible, yes.
01:00We're working on getting a date for that, absolutely.

01:06saying they won't backfire on the US or mess up the vibes with ASEAN.
01:10Moving on, Algeria and Uruguay hopped on the ASEAN friendship train,
01:14with officially signing the Treaty of Amity and cooperation.

01:20especially as everyone's pushing to finally lock down a code of conduct in the South China Sea to keep the peace.
