Talks on Thursday will centre on tariffs as Trump seeks to end a bruising trade war with Beijing, while Taiwan and Russia are also likely to be discussed
Donald Trump is scheduled to meet China’s Xi Jinping in South Korea this week for high stakes talks amid a bruising trade war and tense geopolitical backdrop.
Trump is expected to meet Xi on the sidelines of the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (Apec) summit on Thursday on the final day of his Asia visit, which includes stops in Malaysia and Japan.
“We have a lot to talk about with President Xi, and he has a lot to talk about with us,” Trump told reporters as he embarked on the trip. “I think we’ll have a good meeting.”
