The US president said that the trade pact with the Chinese leader is “more or less planned” and that he seeks to strengthen ties after tariff tensions.
donald trump announced its intention to seal a commercial agreement with Xi Jinping during this month in South Korea and confirmed that will travel to China at the beginning of next year. The former US president assured that the talks with his Asian counterpart are “more or less planned” and hoped to reach an agreement “strong and beneficial” for both powers.
During a reception at the White House for Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, Trump declared that his goal is “close a fair trade agreement with Beijing” and assured that bilateral relations could stabilize after months of tensions due to tariffs and technological restrictions.
The announcement comes within the framework of a recent tariff dispute between Washington and Beijingwhich generated uncertainty in international markets. Trump, however, minimized tensions and expressed optimism about the future of the negotiations.
The meeting between both leaders is scheduled for the summit of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Forum (APEC)which will be held in South Korea. It will be the first direct meeting between Trump and Xi since the beginning of the Republican’s second term, and will seek to establish new rules on technology transfer and market access.
