Fed’s Powell opens door to potential rate cuts at Jackson Hole
Investing.com -- U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio indicated that a summit between President Donald Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping is likely to take place following his first face-to-face meeting with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi in Malaysia.
Rubio described the Friday meeting with Wang as "very constructive and positive." The high-level diplomatic encounter is being viewed as a potential precursor to a leadership summit between the U.S. and Chinese presidents, which Trump has previously expressed interest in holding before the end of 2025.
"There’s a strong desire on both sides to do it," Rubio told reporters after the meeting. "I think the odds are high," he added, noting that the two countries would work to find a "mutually acceptable date" for the presidential summit.
The meeting between the top diplomats took place during a gathering hosted by the Association of Southeast Asian Nations in Kuala Lumpur, which concluded Friday.
