In a high-stakes meeting during the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit in Manila, former U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping held direct talks aimed at stabilizing relations between Washington and Beijing.
The meeting comes amid renewed trade frictions, regional security disputes in the South China Sea, and concerns over Taiwan’s status. Both leaders emphasized the importance of “mutual respect” and “strategic stability” as the foundation for future cooperation.
Trump called for “fair trade and balanced competition,” while Xi urged the U.S. to avoid “Cold War mentalities.” Sources close to the talks said discussions also touched on technology export controls, global supply chains, and the need for stronger dialogue on military-to-military communications.
Observers describe the talks as “tense but constructive.” The APEC summit, attended by leaders from 21 Pacific Rim economies, is seen as a pivotal platform for easing the world’s growing geopolitical and economic divisions.
While no major breakthrough was announced, both sides agreed to continue dialogue and to hold further consultations on trade and regional security before the end of the year.
