ABSTRACT:
The trade war between the United States (US) and China has significantly impacted the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), posing a direct threat to its diplomatic and economic structures. The aim of this study is to study the impacts of Trade War between US and China towards the ASEAN. By employing a qualitative method, secondary data was collected from scientific materials such as books, papers, journals, and online sources. The study utilizes the concept of national interests to explain the phenomenon under investigation. The research highlights that ASEAN has begun taking actions to mitigate the drawbacks of the trade war while maximizing the benefits it brings. These actions include promoting regional economic integration, developing local businesses, strengthening internal cooperation within ASEAN, and diplomatic efforts externally.
