WASHINGTON, Oct 24 (Bernama-Anadolu) -- United States (US) President Donald Trump will sit down with Chinese President Xi Jinping next week as he wraps up a nearly one-week tour of Asia, the White House confirmed on Thursday, Anadolu Ajansi (AA) reported.
Trump will meet with Xi on Thursday morning on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit in the South Korean port city of Busan, spokesperson Karoline Leavitt told reporters.
Trump later told reporters that the illicit flow of fentanyl would top the agenda for the bilateral meeting, suggesting that Beijing wants "to do something" to address the issue.
The US president is slated to arrive Sunday in Malaysia and will meet Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim before attending an Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) leaders working dinner.
He will then fly to Tokyo on Monday and meet Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi on Tuesday.
Trump will fly to Busan on Wednesday, where he will meet with President Lee Jae Myung before delivering remarks at the APEC CEO luncheon and will attend a US-APEC leaders working dinner that evening.
