Secretary Clinton has arrived in Thailand for the summit of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). Above, she speaks during a news conference with Thai Deputy Prime Minister Korbsak Sabhavasu in Bangkok.
Due to time constraints, today I’ve just got a quick summary of recent Clinton news:
•Clinton to sign ASEAN treaty: She’ll be signing ASEAN’s Treaty of Amity and Cooperation, a move possibly aimed at countering China.
•Clinton is worried about military ties between Burma and North Korea.
•Clinton and India’s external affairs minister signed a deal that will allow India to buy sophisticated U.S. weapons.
•Clinton said the U.S. government is doing all it can to rescue captured U.S. soldier Bowe Bergdahl.
•A federal judge has dismissed a 13-year-old lawsuit — “Filegate” — against Clinton.
