asean countries, australia, japan.y hope is that at some point we're going to be able to work cooperatively with china as well. because our goal here is simply to make sure that everybody is operating in a peaceful, responsible fashion. when that happens, that allows countries to focus on what's most important to people day to day, and that is prosperity, growth, jobs. those things that we as leaders should be focused on, need to be focused on. and if we have security arrangements that avoid conflict and dispute, then we're able to place our attention on where we should be focusing. >> the next question comes from marga tal of bloomberg. >> thank you. mr. president, later today we are expecting to hear about new sanctions on people close to president putin. and i wanted to ask you, do you see this as a way to get to mr. putin's personal wealth? do you believe he has amassed personal wealth that's unreported? or is it just a means of ratcheting up pressure before a move to sectoral sanctions? you mentioned yesterday spe

nor, that i'm aware of, of any other asean members. i would say, and i think the verysian minister has been clear on this and very public, his he complimented all of asean counterparts and all the was veryf asean, and oferous in his compliments our efforts, the united states, and what we have done to assist. this is an area where i think we point to and certainly the malaysian minister has, of common interest. are a number of nationalities represented on malaysiant, that flight. china, all the nations of asia pacific who have been asked for any assistance by malaysia have and complied completely. this is about people. all, isn't that the essence of what we're all about, citizensting our own and helping others when they help. this in an interesting way has countries together, maybe not forever, there are we understandces, that. there still will be differences. but when you define down to the lowest common denominator is about people. and i know the malaysian minister has made this point, and he made it a number of times in the meetings

asean,ties with rebalancing to asia, some have suspicions it is all a policy to contain china. how do you respond to that? a visit to not contain china. in my threethat previous trips to the asia-pacific. the rebalanced asia-pacific was .ot a contain china strategy president obama has made that point very clear. secretary kerry has, i have. as i said in some of my remarks ofe, this was a continuation the relationships, the friendships, the partnerships that we have had for many years with many of these countries in the asia-pacific. the u.s. has been a pacific power for many years. this area represents tremendous opportunities. the three largest economies in the world are here in , china, japan, the united states. we are no strangers to this area. invitation tomy ean ministers came as a result of the continuation of our relationships, enhancement and deepening of the those relationships. we can coordinate and cooperate more fully. certainly much of yesterday's agenda was about that. ,umanitarian assistance disaster relief. aathought the no administrators recitation was particul

perhaps with 2015, with the new association of southeast asian nations economic community, asean, southeastasia will become a pact similar to european union but hopefully without all the flaws. that would have a huge impact in our region. >> its a region of lots of resources, lots of culture, lots to offer to the rest of the world. >> myanmar is so rich in natural resources. there is a danger of the country being pillaged. well, i think the international community does know better. their consumers are demanding more responsible practice, demanding that the welfare of the workers through the whole supply chain, whether its in china, myanmar or in their own country, is of an acceptable standard. that is something that one cannot always be confident in, but that seems to be the trend. a lot of large companies have had to change and improve their practices based on consumers demands. with free media, when companies cut corners, when companies act irresponsibly they are exposed. so there is hope, there is excitement. there is a sense of wanting to do more, learn more. experience more. and most i

the asean countries think that we are not coming and the chinese think we are trying to contain them.it's the worst of all possible in terms of foreign policy and putin looks at that and sees the united states has been weakend not only by the president's policies of by congress itself. they have a role here because there is great division on capitol hill in terms of the role in the united states in this new world of disorder. are we going to be leading from the front, behind, disengage? you can see that playing out in the budget itself where we are cutting but others, chinese, russians, others, are increasing their budgets significantly and that all conveys a sense that the united states is pulling back from global affairs. whether the perception is correct or not is not really the issue. if the perception is there a can create a very dangerous dynamic. >> it gives us diminished leverage. >> many of our allies are looking at us and saying they are not sure they can count on us. >> is that more than it's been in the past? >> i think that's the case because if the look at what japan is
