Global events/updates
U.S. President Donald Trump will meet Chinese President Xi Jinping next week during his Asia visit, aiming to revive stalled trade talks. The meeting signals efforts to ease tensions between the two nations. Analysts view it as a “high-risk, high-reward” opportunity for both leaders to reset relations and restart meaningful negotiations.
China has taken a softer stance ahead of the expected Trump-Xi meeting, saying it opposes economic decoupling from the U.S. The White House expects the leaders to meet on Oct. 30 in South Korea, though Beijing hasn’t confirmed. Chinese officials also highlighted plans to boost technology and energy innovation for future growth.
Japan’s inflation rose for the first time since May, with both headline and core inflation reaching 2.9%, staying above the Bank of Japan’s 2% target. The uptick poses an early challenge for new Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi, who must balance controlling inflation while supporting the country’s economic growth.
President Trump has ended all U.S. trade talks with Canada, citing a Canadian ad featuring former President Reagan criticizing tariffs. The ad, planned by Ontario Premier Doug Ford with a $75 million budget, aired in the U.S., which Trump called “fake.” The move highlights rising tensions over trade and political messaging between the two countries.
U.S.-EU relations have faced tensions over Ukraine support and trade tariffs, but recent events show growing unity. Both sides announced nearly simultaneous sanctions against Russia, signaling stronger coordination. U.S. Ambassador Andrew Puzder said the actions reflect a need to “step it up,” suggesting that shared concerns over Russia may be bringing Washington and Brussels closer together.
