The bilateral meeting between U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping, held on the sidelines of the APEC summit in South Korea on October 30, 2025, lasted about 1 hour and 40 minutes.
Trump described it as “amazing” and rated it “12 out of 10,” expressing optimism for a broader U.S.-China trade deal “pretty soon.”
Xi struck a conciliatory tone, but neither leader issued detailed post-meeting statements.
Key outcomes included:
- Tariff adjustments: U.S. tariffs on Chinese goods reduced to 47% (from higher levels like 57%), with a specific cut on fentanyl-related tariffs to 10%.
- Agricultural commitments: China agreed to immediately resume purchases of U.S. soybeans.
- Rare earths: Extension of a one-year deal on Chinese rare-earth exports to the U.S.

- Other pledges: Discussions on curbing fentanyl flows, with both sides agreeing on “many points” in ongoing trade talks, though experts view it as a tactical pause rather than a strategic breakthrough amid persistent disagreements.
No comprehensive trade truce was announced, but the session revived hopes for de-escalation after Trump’s pre-meeting threats of 100% tariffs on Chinese exports.

The United States has more Nuclear Weapons than any other country. This was accomplished, including a complete update and renovation of existing weapons, during my First Term in office. Because of the tremendous destructive power, I HATED to do it, but had no choice! Russia is second, and China is a distant third, but will be even within 5 years. Because of other countries testing programs, I have instructed the Department of War to start testing our Nuclear Weapons on an equal basis. That process will begin immediately. Thank you for your attention to this matter! PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP
