Fresh off meeting with China's Xi, Biden is turning his attention to Asia-Pacific economies
Fresh off his meeting with the leader of China, President Joe Biden on Thursday is addressing CEOs who are grappling with the risks to their businesses from world crises. He'll also spend time trying to persuade other Indo-Pacific leaders that the U.S. is committed to nurturing economic ties throughout the region.
“We've got a few busy days ahead of us,” Biden said during a welcome reception, ticking off a list of concerns and challenges for the leaders to examine. “Our strongest tools to meet those challenges remain the same ... connection, cooperation, collective action and common purpose."
Biden is courting world leaders at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit and through his administration’s member economies and a few others, like India, that aren’t members of the larger forum.
