Summary

U.S. President Donald Trump mentioned the possibility that a planned meeting with Xi Jinping, Chinese state president, may not take place.
As efforts to arrange an APEC meeting between the U.S. and China become uncertain, scheduling coordination difficulties between the two countries are drawing investors' attention.
They said that whether a U.S.-China summit occurs could act as external uncertainty, so investors should monitor closely.

U.S. President Donald Trump mentioned the possibility that a planned meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping may not take place. Amid reports that an APEC meeting between the U.S. and Chinese leaders was being pursued, it is interpreted that schedule coordination between the two countries is facing difficulties.

On the 21st (local time), according to business breaking news channel Walter Bloomberg, President Trump said, "The meeting with Chairman Xi Jinping may perhaps not take place." He did not mention specific reasons or the background of the adjustments.

This remark by President Trump contrasts with his earlier position that "the meeting with Xi Jinping would proceed as scheduled." Accordingly, attention is focused on whether a U.S.-China meeting will take place during the APEC summit scheduled to be held in Korea at the end of this month.
