00:08A high-stakes swing that could reshape global trade and test relations with China.
00:13White House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt confirmed the president will meet with Xi Jinping next week in South Korea on the sidelines of the APEC summit.
00:22On Thursday morning local time, President Trump will participate in a bilateral meeting with President Xi of the People's Republic of China before departing to return home to Washington, D.C.
00:34The two leaders met in 2017 at Mar-a-Lago, then again two years later in Japan.
00:40This time, the stakes are even higher as the full-blown trade war erupts over rare earth minerals and magnets, new 100% U.S. tariffs, and China's role in fentanyl exports.
