US President Donald Trump has landed in South Korea this morning for the final part of his Asia trip, expressing optimism over reaching a trade truce with Chinese President Xi Jinping.
Trump said he expected their first face-to-face talks of his second term to result in the Washington lowering tariffs imposed on Beijing in relation to fentanyl.
Trump also said he was “not sure” whether he would discuss the sensitive topic of self-ruling Taiwan during his meeting with the Chinese leader.
The US president is set to address a summit of CEOs and meet with South Korean President Lee Jae Myung, where he would be awarded with the “Grand Order of Mugunghwa,” the country’s highest decoration.
