Trump confirms he will meet with Xi 2 more times this year
President Donald Trump said on Friday that he will meet Chinese President Xi Jinping two more times before year-end, following Xi’s three-day state visit to the United States. Trump posted on Truth Social that one of the meetings will be in China in November at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) gathering.
Why It Matters
Additional in-person talks between the U.S. and Chinese leaders could shape bilateral relations and coordination on regional and economic issues, coming directly after a multi-day state visit. High-level meetings between the two presidents are significant because they provide opportunities to address strategic and diplomatic priorities face-to-face.
