WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Teams for U.S. President Joe Biden and Chinese President Xi Jinping have an agreement in principle for them to meet in San Francisco in November but important details need to be hammered out, a senior Biden administration official said on Tuesday.

The official amplified on remarks by White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre at her daily press briefing, where she said the two leaders are aiming to have a "constructive conversation" on the sidelines of the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation forum in San Francisco.

"There is an agreement in principle to meet in San Francisco in November. We are still working through important details needed to finalize those plans," the official said.

Biden, his national security adviser Jake Sullivan and Secretary of State Antony Blinken discussed the prospect for a Biden-Xi summit in talks with Chinese foreign minister Wang Yi at the White House and at the State Department on Friday.

The APEC summit is to take place in mid-November.

The Chinese control this Whitehouse administration, so…
A magaloon fantasy with no basis in fact.
Biden is again showing statesmanship, doing a good job trying to undo the near irreparable damage trump did to US interests abroad...
You mean, kissing his Chinese master’s arse? Trump had China under control, unlike the mashed potato head in the Whitehouse now.
 "Trump had China under control"  -- really, how exactly did your orange messiah had China under control?  did Trump win the trade war?  did Trump stop China from arresting all the pro democracy leaders in Hongkong?  according to you didn't China release the Covid virus?
Yeah, but other than those things... under complete control.
Let us hope that China can begin to see the damages they do upon themselves and their economy by supporting putin in his terrible war against ukraine.
How does China damaging the economy by providing solution to stop the war comparing US to fight against each other and provide weapons to Ukraine
What solution to stopping the war has China provided, specifically?
I am genuinely curious, what solution to stopping the war has China offered? You aren't someone who doesn't know what he is talking about, are you?
Time for Biden to get more boot licking time in for his Chinese masters. They need to update him on his new marching orders.
Talking about yourself again, I see…
