Biden to meet Xi at APEC Summit in Peru for third in-person talks

U.S. President Joe Biden will meet Chinese President Xi Jinping at the APEC Summit in Lima, Peru. This will be their third in-person meeting, aimed at managing U.S.-China relations and addressing economic and security issues. The meeting follows previous discussions in Bali and California, as Biden seeks to engage China while strengthening U.S. industries, particularly in technology and defense. The White House emphasizes the importance of open communication to prevent tensions from escalating. Biden's trip to South America will also include a visit to Brazil, where he will be the first U.S. president to tour the Amazon rainforest before attending the G20 Summit in Rio de Janeiro.
