Trade War Truce: High-Stakes Talks Between Trump and Xi Jinping

Amid rising U.S.-China tensions, Presidents Trump and Xi Jinping meet in South Korea to renegotiate a trade war truce. This high-stakes discussion takes place on the sidelines of the APEC summit.

Key issues include potential U.S. tariff reductions on Chinese goods and China's rare-earth mineral export controls. While the U.S. anticipates progress, the outcomes remain uncertain.

Conversations also address fentanyl precursor curbs and TikTok's ownership. As Beijing shows willingness for cooperation, President Trump's demand for immediate improvements puts pressure on these pivotal negotiations.
