Trump Due in South Korea on Oct 29 for APEC Summit
Trump is set to attend the APEC summit with potential talks involving leaders from South Korea, China, and North Korea amid rising nuclear tensions and geopolitical shifts.
- On October 29, US President Donald Trump is expected to arrive in South Korea to attend the APEC summit, Seoul's presidential office told AFP.
- Regional tensions have risen after North Korea declared itself an 'irreversible' nuclear state and appeared at a Beijing parade with China and Russia last month.
- South Korea said a bilateral meeting with President Lee Jae Myung is likely around Trump's visit, and Trump is expected to stay in Gyeongju until October 30 while US officials say he may meet Xi Jinping.
- Diplomatic friction surfaced after Trump threatened to cancel a Xi meeting over Chinese export curbs, and Seoul said a US-North Korea sideline meeting cannot be ruled out.
- Past US–North Korea meetings failed to produce a lasting deal, and Pyongyang showcased its most powerful ICBM at a parade, analysts say, to create anxiety before the summit.
