Biden to urge Xi on North Korea's military support for Russia at APEC summit
President Joe Biden is set to meet with China's Xi Jinping to discuss North Korea's military support for Russia. This meeting, occurring at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in Peru, marks Biden's final engagement with Xi before leaving office. Biden, alongside South Korean and Japanese leaders, condemned North Korea's actions as "dangerous and destabilizing." They urged China to use its influence to prevent further escalation in the region, highlighting concerns over North Korea's missile tests and military aid to Russia. The meeting will also address broader issues, including China's support for Russia and tensions over Taiwan. Biden's administration has expressed frustration with China's lack of action to rein in North Korea, as the U.S. prepares for a transition to the Trump administration.
