SOUTh-EAST ASIA (Reuters): The United States expects to finalise trade deals with more South-East Asian countries in the coming months, US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer said during a meeting with regional counterparts on Wednesday.

Greer was speaking in Kuala Lumpur at the start of a meeting with economic ministers from the 10-member Association of South-East Asian Nations, amid concerns within the export-reliant bloc over the impact of US tariffs on their economies.
