During a diplomatic dinner in South Korea, US President Donald Trump, caught on a hot mic, disclosed that his summit with Chinese leader Xi Jinping would extend far beyond the official schedule and hinted at a possible breakthrough in trade discussions between the world’s two largest economies.
“We’re going to have something that’s going to be very, very satisfactory to China and to us," Trump was overheard saying at a dinner hosted by South Korean President Lee Jae-myung on Wednesday. “I think it’s going to be a very good meeting. I look forward to it tomorrow morning when we meet."
According to the reports, Trump told other leaders that the Thursday session with Xi would stretch ‘three to four hours". However, as per the White House had budgeted less than two hours for the summit.
Trump-Xi Meeting
With months of tension, the meeting between Trump and Xi is set to take place on Thursday morning in Busan. Trade disputes, fentanyl exports, and restrictions on rare earth minerals have strained ties in the past few days, despite efforts by both sides to keep negotiations alive.
Trump’s remark, captured before the microphones were switched off, seemed to suggest optimism about the talks’ outcome. “It’s going to be very, very satisfactory to both sides," he said, offering one of his most upbeat predictions on US-China ties since returning to the White House.
