DANANG, Vietnam -- Leaders of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) member states called for reciprocal trade and a fight against "all unfair trade practices" on Nov. 11, a move heavily influenced by complaints from U.S. President Donald Trump.
Concluding their two-day meeting the 21 country heads said in a joint statement that they remain committed to "free and open" trade and investment in Asia-Pacific, and to making trade "more inclusive". But at the same time they also pledged to fight against unfair practices.
