ASEAN summit: Mega trade deal delayed

Why plans to finalise what could be the world’s largest trade bloc at the ASEAN summit have hit the buffers.

Asian leaders at a summit in Thailand have delayed signing what would have become the world’s biggest trading bloc.

A free trade agreement between 16 countries was to offset the US-China trade war.

But finalising it has now been put off until next year.
