Xi and Trump set for Apec talks, but major deliverables expected to wait for G20

The presidents of the US and China are set to meet again at next week’s Apec summit, but observers expect few tangible bilateral deliverables to emerge from their talks.The face-to-face meeting between Donald Trump and Xi Jinping will be the third between the two leaders this year, following reciprocal state visits in May and September.They are also expected to meet at the Group of 20 summit in the United States in December. In each case, global markets will be watching closely to see how Washington and Beijing navigate their protracted trade disputes.
