US President Joe Biden and Chinese President Xi Jinping are attending the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit in Lima. They are set to meet on Saturday, marking a significant encounter amid uncertainty following Donald Trump's election victory. The summit focuses on trade and investment, but Trump's planned confrontational approach towards China raises concerns. His administration has indicated potential tariffs on Chinese goods, which could impact both economies. Biden will also meet with Japanese and South Korean leaders to strengthen alliances in Asia. Meanwhile, Peru has deployed troops in Lima due to protests against crime and government issues.
