Kuala Lumpur - President Barack Obama has canceled a planned visit to Malaysia next week because of the partial US government shutdown, Malaysia's leader said Wednesday.
Obama is scheduled to leave Saturday night for what was originally a four-nation tour that also includes Indonesia, Brunei and the Philippines. The trip is part of Obama's broader focus on boosting US economic ties with Asia.
