U.S. President Donald Trump traveled to Busan, South Korea, capping off his busy three-country tour of Asia with a high-stakes meeting with Chinese Communist Party (CCP) leader Xi Jinping on Oct. 30.

The two leaders sat down in a building on South Korea’s Gimhae Air Base at approximately 11:15 a.m. local time for a bilateral discussion—the first time Trump and Xi have met in person since Trump reclaimed the presidency in January. Their last meeting was in Osaka, Japan, in 2019, when both attended the G20 summit.
