Lima –
U.S. President Joe Biden and his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping arrive Thursday in Lima for an Asia-Pacific summit overshadowed by the prospect of a world embroiled in trade wars under Donald Trump.
Saturday’s face-to-face will likely be the last meeting between the sitting leaders of the world’s largest economies before Biden hands the reins back to Trump, who has signaled a confrontational approach to Beijing for his second term in the White House.
Biden and Xi will likely „take stock of efforts to responsibly manage competition,“ a senior U.S. administration official told reporters Wednesday ahead of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit.
