Trump and Xi progress on TikTok deal, plan South Korea meeting to discuss trade and geopolitical tensions in six weeks
– Trump and Xi are progressing on a TikTok agreement and plan to meet in South Korea soon.
– Future discussions will address trade, security concerns, and regional tensions between the U.S. and China.
The leaders agreed to further discussions at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum in October.
Trump indicated that Xi would visit the U.S. later and that he would head to China next year.
Future Discussions
Trump confirmed that the TikTok deal is progressing, noting potential US control over the app’s algorithm.
Uncertainties remain, including ownership structure and control dynamics with ByteDance. Lawmakers express concerns over national security implications stemming from continued Chinese involvement.
Trump’s tariffs on Chinese exports have increased significantly, complicating relations further.
As trade discussions continue, regional tensions in Taiwan and the South China Sea remain on the agenda, though unaddressed in recent communications.
