The News
President Donald Trump will meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Summit in South Korea on Oct. 30, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said Thursday.
The president will participate in a bilateral meeting with the Chinese leader at the end of a trip through three countries in Asia. She did not provide any details on the content of the meeting.
On Wednesday, Trump predicted that the two leaders would come to agreements on everything from trade to nuclear power. He also plans to address China’s purchase of Russian oil.

While Trump said weeks ago that he would meet with Xi at the APEC summit, no date had been announced. The meeting would be Thursday morning local time in Busan, South Korea.
What's Next
Leavitt added that Trump will also participate in bilateral meetings with the leaders of Malaysia, Japan and South Korea during the trip.

Trade tensions between the two nations have flared in recent weeks after Trump announced 100 percent tariffs on Chinese exports, which are set to take effect two days after the leaders meet. Trump’s pledge came after China announced newly imposed export-controls on rare earth metals and related technology in electronics and military goods.
The new U.S. tariffs would be “over and above any Tariff” that China is already paying, Trump wrote in a social media post earlier this month.Trump added Wednesday that his priority is to end Russia’s war in Ukraine. Xi “would now like to see that war end,” the president said.
It will be the first in-person meeting between the leaders since 2019, when the two met in Japan at the G20 summit.
