Youngkin's trip will occur the same time that Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, seen as Donald Trump's top potential GOP rival, is also set to travel overseas.
Youngkin framed the visit, his first to Asia as governor, as a chance to strengthen his state's supply chains in the semiconductor, pharmaceutical and automotive industries.
The planned six-day international visit, set to kick off Monday, prompted questions about whether he had presidential ambitions. Youngkin did little to extinguish that speculation when CNBC pressed him about his political plans. Among the GOP candidates who have officially thrown their hats in the ring, Trump is considered the clear frontrunner. Polls show Trump's biggest competition is DeSantis, who is expected to announce his presidential plans after his state's current legislative session ends in May.
