Sebastián Piñera canceled an Asia-Pacific trade forum and a United Nations climate summit, saying he has to "put the needs of Chileans first."

The Arizona senator, who has become increasingly critical of the president in recent weeks, said there's nothing 'America First' about "taking the word of a KGB colonel."

Under a new agreement, the U.S. and China will extend visas from the current one-year term to five and 10 years. President Obama is in China for the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum.
