Meeting with Xi Jinping said to come in a couple of weeks occurs in ten days
On October 20, 2025, Trump said: And I'm meeting with President Xi. We have a very good relationship. We're going to be meeting in South Korea in a couple of weeks, and we'll see what we can do. He met Xi Jinping in Busan, South Korea on October 30, 2025, ten days later.
Context
This instance was delivered inside the stated window and is recorded with the same prominence as the instances that slipped. The meeting was tied to a scheduled trip for the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit, so the statement described a fixed calendar item rather than predicting one. It stands four days after a statement about meeting the Russian president in Budapest within a similar window, which did not occur, and the two are recorded separately.
