YOKOHAMA, Japan -- The Asian Development Bank has urged the U.S. to remain economically present in the Asia-Pacific region, amid protectionist noises from President Donald Trump.
"I hope that the U.S. would continue to be engaged in the Asia-Pacific region very closely, through ADB and other multilateral development banks," said the lender's president, Takehiko Nakao, on Sunday at the close of its annual meeting in Yokohama.
