FILE - In this Nov. 13, 2017, file photo, U.S. President Donald Trump, left, reacts as he does the "ASEAN-way handshake" with Vietnamese Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc, not pictured, and Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte on stage during the opening ceremony at the ASEAN Summit at the Cultural Center of the Philippines, in Manila. Nation by nation, how is Election Day in the United States being watched, considered, assessed? The next U.S. president could reshape the country's relationship with President Rodrigo Duterte, who leads a key American treaty ally in Asia — but presents a dilemma. Duterte has been regarded by international watchdogs as a human rights calamity for his notorious anti-drug crackdown that has left thousands of mostly poor suspects dead. He has been accused of undermining one of Asia's most vibrant democracies — an American legacy. (AP Photo/Andrew Harnik, File)
