US Treasury secretary Bessent yesterday said that a meeting between Trump and Xi in South Korea remains “on track”. And so, we’re seeing the US camp confirm Trump’s attendance here. The timing is interesting though as China has yet to officially confirm Xi Jinping’s visit but media sources and the Korean camp is saying that Xi is “virtually confirmed” to at least attend the APEC Summit.
The thing is though, the APEC Summit dates are on 31 October to 1 November in Gyeongju. While the specific details are yet to be confirmed, reports are saying that Trump will arrive early and then make a visit to Gyeongju as well. So, now the ball is over to China’s court.
