Biden meets Xi Jinping at Apec summit in Peru ahead of Trump’s presidency
Joe Biden will meet with Xi Jinping on Saturday at the Apec summit in Peru. This meeting is likely the last before Donald Trump takes office in January. Biden aims to emphasize the need for stability and predictability during the transition. Biden plans to discuss China's role in addressing North Korea's involvement in the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Recent reports indicate that North Korean troops have been sent to support Russia, raising concerns among US allies. Trump's upcoming presidency adds uncertainty to US-China relations. He has proposed a tough stance on China, including significant tariffs. Xi has expressed the need for cooperation, but recent tensions, including cyberattacks linked to China, complicate the relationship.
