Oct. 23 (UPI) -- U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping are to meet and discuss trade and other matters during the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Summit in Busan, South Korea.
Trump is scheduled to leave the United States on Friday, with stops planned in Malaysia and Japan ahead of the APEC conference that has a leaders meeting scheduled for Oct. 31 and Nov.1.
He and Xi agreed to meet on Oct. 30, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt announced on Thursday.
The planned meeting comes after Trump announced he would impose 100% tariffs on top of existing tariffs on all Chinese-made goods in retaliation for China's earlier announcement of global restrictions on the use of rare earth minerals.
