Overlooking a stopover

Philippine President, Malaysia Prime Minister to Stop on Guam
Some leaders from Asia will be landing on Guam in a few hours for a technical stop, including Philippine President Benigno Aquino and Malaysia Prime Minister Najib Razak.

Guam International Airport Spokesperson Rolenda Faasuamalie says the two heads of state will be arriving in separate airplanes and will be on Guam for less than an hour for a fuel stop.

Both are returning to their home countries after attending the US-ASEAN summit in Caifornia, which is the first time this summit has ever been hosted in the US.
How much more convenient and neighborly would it have been for the White House to have held the summit nearer to the home of ASEAN, on sovereign US soil in the middle of the Asia-Pacific region?
