AUSTIN/BUSAN/SINGAPORE: With the eyes of the world upon them, US President Donald Trump and his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping on Thursday (Oct 30) kicked off a widely anticipated meeting in the South Korean port city of Busan, with hopes that a trade deal could be sealed.
The first meeting of the two leaders since Trump’s return to the White House is an attempt to calm the waters in the middle of a trade war between the world’s two biggest economies. The end result could be a lowering of the high trade barriers they have imposed on each other in 2025.
