A summit between U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping will be held at 11 a.m. Korea time on the 30th.

On the 29th (local time), the White House included this U.S.-China summit schedule in President Trump's itinerary that it released to the press in advance.

The White House specified the meeting place as 'Gyeongju, South Korea', unlike the originally announced 'Busan', but it is unclear whether White House staff mistakenly announced the wrong location due to confusion or whether there was a change of venue.

President Trump is scheduled to depart for the United States at 12:55 p.m. after concluding the meeting with President Xi that day.

He is then expected to arrive at the White House at 3:05 p.m. U.S. local time on the 30th and to attend a Halloween event at the White House with First Lady Melania at 5:30 p.m.
