Biden, Xi to meet on APEC summit sidelines

WASHINGTON, D.C. — United States President Joe Biden will meet his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping for likely the final time on Saturday, senior administration officials said, as Beijing prepares for a potentially more confrontational period with Washington under Donald Trump.

The two leaders are expected to hold talks spanning a range of global hot spots, including heightened tensions between Washington and Beijing, on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit in Peru's capital Lima, US national security adviser Jake Sullivan told reporters. He did not confirm the date of the meeting.
