JAKARTA (The Jakarta Post/Asia News Network): With the Group of 20 Summit (G-20) in his mind, President Joko "Jokowi" Widodo is scheduled to travel to the United States to attend the US-Asean Special Summit on May 12-13 at the White House along with fellow Asean leaders.

Russia's invasion of Ukraine and his ambition to multilaterally contain China will be on top of President Joe Biden's agenda as the host. Asean leaders will do their best to please Washington but at the same time, they do not want to irritate Beijing, their most important trading partner.
