Trump, Xi might meet ahead of or during October APEC summit in South Korea, SCMP reports

GYEONGJU, SOUTH KOREA, JUL 20 – The APEC summit provides a crucial platform to ease US-China trade tensions and advance diplomacy, with leaders showing strong interest in direct talks, officials said.

  • Between October 30 and November 1, the APEC summit in Gyeongju is slated to host global leaders, with South Korean media reports saying Xi Jinping will attend and Trump’s participation remains unconfirmed.
  • Earlier this month, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi and US Secretary of State Marco Rubio held their first face-to-face meeting, a potentially important step towards a future Xi–Trump encounter.
  • Since late January, US-China relations have fluctuated, and both sides agreed on a preliminary trade deal easing China’s rare-earth export restrictions and US technology barriers.
  • According to the South China Morning Post, Trump could meet Xi pre-summit or during APEC, and a spokesperson for Trump did not comment on the plans.
  • Multiple sources say this summit offers the best chance for Xi and Trump to meet, with Trump setting an August 12 deadline for a tariffs agreement, as the summit’s significance grows.
