Carney says he will meet Chinese President Xi at APEC summit

Prime Minister Mark Carney says he expects to meet Chinese President Xi Jinping this week at an international summit in South Korea as the two countries attempt to repair a six-year rupture in relations and resolve a punishing trade war.

It’s the first time the Canadian leader, who is seeking to shift trade away from the increasingly protectionist United States under Donald Trump, has confirmed a meeting with Mr. Xi that both sides have been trying to set up for months.
