Trump Caught On Hot Mic Hinting At Breakthrough In Xi Jinping Summit Amid Us-China Tensions

“THE G2 WILL BE CONVENING SHORTLY!” Trump posted on Truth Social, minutes before meeting Xi Jinping. The 79-year-old has repeatedly spoken about reaching an agreement with the CPC chief. Their talks are taking place on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit in South Korea.

Trump and Xi entered the room from opposite sides, shook hands, and briefly greeted the press. “We’re going to have a very successful meeting, I have no doubt,” Trump said. “But he’s a very tough negotiator, that’s no good.”

The American president had other officials with him for the meeting. They included US Ambassador to China David Perdue, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, and US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer.
