President Biden Heads to Asia for Six-Day Tour Amid Tensions with China and North Korea
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Later today, Biden departs on a six-day trip to Asia, where he's
scheduled to meet with leaders of South Korea, Japan, India and
Australia. Biden's trip comes amid increased naval tensions with China
and as analysts say North Korea is preparing an underground nuclear
weapons test in the coming days - which would be the first such test
since 2017.
