Trump-Xi Jinping meeting soon?|After ‘Losing’ India & Russia to China, Trump to meet Xi in October?

Speculation is growing over a potential Trump–Xi Jinping bilateral meeting at the upcoming APEC summit, as U.S.-China tensions over trade and security intensify. Trump is expected to travel to South Korea in October and may also meet North Korea’s Kim Jong Un if he attends. The White House has not confirmed dates, but both leaders have exchanged invitations in recent weeks. A Trump–Xi meeting could address tariffs, regional power struggles, and shifting alliances after Beijing hosted Putin, Kim, and Modi. #Trump #XiJinping #APEC #USChinaRelations #TradeWar #Geopolitics #KimJongUn #Putin #Modi #SouthKorea #Diplomacy #APEC2025 #BreakingNews #USPolitics #China #Tariffs #GlobalSummit #TrumpTrip #WhiteHouse #Beijing #WorldNews #USChinaSummit #GreatPowerPolitics #StrategicRivalry #BilateralMeeting Also Read Fully Reciprocate His Sentiments: PM Modi On Trump's "Will Always Be Friends" Remark :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/fully-reciprocate-his-sentiments-pm-modi-on-trumps-will-always-be-friends-remark-7852419.html?ref=DMDesc Donald Trump's Fresh Attack, Says India Kills Us With Tariffs, Claims 'No Duty' Offer From New Delhi Again :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/donald-trumps-fresh-attack-says-india-kills-us-with-tariffs-repeats-claim-of-no-duty-offer-from-7849863.html?ref=DMDesc Donald Trump Calls India Trade ‘Totally One-Sided,’ Imposes New Tariffs Amid Russia Oil Dispute :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/donald-trump-calls-india-trade-totally-one-sided-imposes-new-tariffs-amid-russia-oil-dispute-7847665.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~ED.346~GR.124~

U.S Civil War | Trump Threatens WAR on Chicago | Mass protests against ‘Wanna be’ Dictator Trump

President Trump escalates his rhetoric, threatening Chicago with federal “Department of War” deployments amid ongoing protests. His provocative “Chipocalypse Now” post, parodying military action and deportations, drew sharp criticism from Illinois Governor JB Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson, who denounced Trump as a “wannabe dictator.” Thousands marched in Chicago against potential raids, holding signs reading “ICE Out of Illinois.” Critics warn the renaming of the Defense Department signals a troubling shift toward authoritarianism and misuse of federal power. #Trump #Chicago #DepartmentOfWar #ChipocalypseNow #JBPritzker #BrandonJohnson #Protests #FederalOverreach #NationalGuard #ICE #Authoritarianism #USPolitics #ChicagoProtests #TrumpControversy #PoliticalDrama #MilitaryOverreach #CivilRights #USCities #BreakingNews #Defiance #ChicagoResistance #FederalPower #TrumpOnline #PoliticalCrisis #MarchForRights #NationalDebate Also Read Fully Reciprocate His Sentiments: PM Modi On Trump's "Will Always Be Friends" Remark :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/fully-reciprocate-his-sentiments-pm-modi-on-trumps-will-always-be-friends-remark-7852419.html?ref=DMDesc Donald Trump's Fresh Attack, Says India Kills Us With Tariffs, Claims 'No Duty' Offer From New Delhi Again :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/donald-trumps-fresh-attack-says-india-kills-us-with-tariffs-repeats-claim-of-no-duty-offer-from-7849863.html?ref=DMDesc Donald Trump Calls India Trade ‘Totally One-Sided,’ Imposes New Tariffs Amid Russia Oil Dispute :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/donald-trump-calls-india-trade-totally-one-sided-imposes-new-tariffs-amid-russia-oil-dispute-7847665.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~ED.346~
