Trump-Xi meeting faces calls to revisit North Korea’s nuclear issue
The September 24 meeting between US President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping is expected to address strategic as well as economic matters, according to the South China Morning Post. An editorial asks whether the Korean peninsula and North Korea’s nuclear programme will again receive insufficient attention.
The September 24 meeting between US President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping is expected to differ from their previous summit, according to the South China Morning Post. The newspaper said the earlier meeting, held in Beijing in May, focused largely on economic matters. Those issues included trade, semiconductors and rare earths.
The forthcoming summit will take place in the United States, which the newspaper described as Trump’s home turf. It is expected to bring strategic questions into the discussion alongside economic concerns. The South China Morning Post’s commentary questioned whether the Korean peninsula and North Korea’s nuclear programme would again be pushed down the agenda.
