Protesters accused the Trump administration of imposing economic policies and sanctions that they say harm workers and industries in Asia. They also voiced opposition to U.S. support for Israel amid the ongoing conflict in Gaza. Security around the summit area was heightened as the demonstrations took place. Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping are scheduled to meet Thursday on the sidelines of the summit. Trump’s visit to South Korea will be his first since 2019 and for Xi the first since 2014 and will also mark the first time US and Chinese leaders will be hosted as state guests outside the capital Seoul. Issues regarding tariffs, trade, rare earths and soybeans are among the topics expected to be discussed between the leaders of the world’s two major economies a day ahead of the APEC summit. The two sides held two days of trade talks over the weekend in Malaysia, where the US side said it had reached a “very substantial framework” on trade ties with China, while the Chinese side said they had reached a “preliminary consensus.” Besides Xi, South Korean President Lee Jae Myung is expected to host several leaders including the Sultan of Brunei, Hassan Al-Bolkiah, Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto, Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., Chile's President Gabriel Boric and Vietnamese President Luong Cuong. Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, New Zealand’s Prime Minister Christopher Luxon, Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim and Singapore’s Prime Minister Lawrence Wong are also expected to attend the summit. The summit is projected to create approximately 23,000 jobs and generate an economic impact of 7.4 trillion won ($5.1 billion), according to a joint report by the Korea Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KCCI) and consulting firm Deloitte.
