Behind the scenes at APEC 2025: Golf, fried chicken, and choppers

Our Prime Minister has met and dined with one of the most powerful people in the world - Donald Trump.

Christopher Luxon and Trump spoke at an APEC dinner last night.

It's expected to be one of the most significant meetings Luxon will have at the economic conference, despite the two not having a formal bilateral.

The summit is straight off the back of one with the Association of South East Asian Nations, or ASEAN.

Newstalk ZB political reporter Azaria Howell has been travelling alongside Luxon, she joins us today on The Front Page.
