President Trump will meet Chinese President Xi Jinping on October 30 during the APEC Summit in Asia, marking their first in-person meeting since Trump returned to office.

The meeting aims to ease tensions and discuss trade, as the current U.S.-China trade truce is set to expire on November 10 amid rising tariffs and export restrictions.

Key issues on the agenda include rare earth minerals, fentanyl, soybeans, Taiwan, and ongoing structural trade disputes.

Analysts expect the meeting to focus on resuming trade talks rather than reaching a comprehensive deal, given the unresolved challenges between the two nations, CNBC has reported.

Concurrently, Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng will meet U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent in Malaysia this week to discuss trade and economic matters.
