Answer 2

I would assume in Asia with our stance on North Korea. North Korea has pretty much started to cave in to our demands on their nuclear program, unlike Iran. The relationship with China has been very rocky, but still solid. Relations with Vietnam has gotten stronger over the years, which has helped in trade in Southeast Asia. Thankfully, relations with Asia is more positive than negative.
