Trump may visit South Korea ahead of APEC summit, sources say

04 October 2025 11:35

US President Donald Trump is considering a visit to South Korea later this month, just ahead of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit, sources said on October 4.

Government circles speculate that Trump could hold bilateral summits with South Korea and China before the APEC gathering opens and depart without attending the main session of the summit, scheduled for October 31 to November 1 in the southeastern city of Gyeongju, Caliber.Az reports per Yonhap.

"President Trump is expected to arrive on October 29 and visit Gyeongju," a ruling party official told Yonhap News Agency by phone. "However, his schedule has yet to be finalised and is still being coordinated between South Korea and the US."

Trump is expected to attend the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) summit in Kuala Lumpur from October 26-28 before heading to Japan for talks with the country’s new prime minister. He is then likely to travel to South Korea after his Japan stop, diplomatic observers said, raising the possibility of a one-day trip.

"As for when he will depart after arriving on the 29th, nothing has been confirmed at this point," a government official said.

US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent earlier said Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping will have a "pull-aside" meeting in South Korea late this month.

A ruling party official, meanwhile, downplayed the possibility of Trump's meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un on the sidelines of the APEC summit.
