US President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping will meet next Thursday on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit, the White House announced, as the leaders of the world’s two largest economies look to deescalate a simmering trade war.

Trump returned from his trip to Asia earlier Thursday, after speaking with world leaders in Malaysia, Japan and South Korea. He also met with Chinese President Xi Jinping during his stop in South Korea.

Trump’s readout for the pair’s “amazing,” roughly 100-minute meeting in South Korea is at odds with Xi’s more muted counterpart.

Leaders of Pacific countries and territories, including China’s Xi Jinping, are gathering in South Korea for a major summit Friday. But the leader of one global powerhouse is conspicuously absent: Donald Trump.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt announced during a briefing on Thursday that US President Donald Trump will hold a bilateral meeting with Chinese leader Xi Jinping on Wednesday 30 October.
