BEIJING: China said that leader Xi Jinping and US President Donald Trump will have "in depth" talks on "major issues" Thursday (Oct 30), as expectations grew for their high-stakes talks in South Korea.

Trump has said he expected their first face-to-face meeting of his second term to result in the United States lowering tariffs imposed on China in relation to fentanyl.
