"Trump earlier confirmed his meeting with Xi, saying on Wednesday that the leaders have a pretty long meeting scheduled, before adding that he hoped the superpowers could work out a lot of our doubts and questions. I think something will work out. We have a very good relationship, but that will be a big one, Trump said as he answered questions alongside NATO chief Mark Rutte at the White House."
"White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said at a press briefing on Thursday that Trump is scheduled to participate in a bilateral meeting with Xi in South Korea on the morning of October 30, before returning to Washington. The Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit an inter-governmental forum promoting free trade among 21 economies located around the Pacific Rim will be held in the city of Gyeongju on October 31 and November 1."
"Trump also said he will push Xi to stop Chinese companies from purchasing Russian oil, after he imposed his first sanctions on Moscow on Wednesday since returning to the White House. The sanctions package which targeted Russia's two largest oil firms, Rosneft and Lukoil was the result of Russian President Vladimir Putin refusing to end this senseless war in Ukraine, US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said."
US President Donald Trump is scheduled to hold a bilateral meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping in South Korea on the morning of October 30. The meeting precedes the APEC summit in Gyeongju on October 31 and November 1. The encounter takes place amid escalating trade tensions, including a 30 percent tariff on Chinese imports and threats of higher levies if no deal is reached. Trump said he hoped both sides could resolve doubts and questions and described a good relationship. Trump intends to press Xi to stop Chinese companies buying Russian oil after new sanctions targeting Rosneft and Lukoil.
