U.S. President Donald Trump offered an upbeat outlook on a U.S.-China summit in a special address at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Summit in Gyeongju on the 29th.

Trump said, "Chinese President Xi Jinping is coming here (Gyeongju) tomorrow. I want to meet him and conclude a trade deal. Settling and negotiating by words is far better than war. There is no reason to wage war. I hope for a trade deal with President Xi."
