President Trump threatened to slap tariffs on another $300 billion of Chinese exports to the United States if China's leader Xi Jinping doesn't meet him at the G20 in Japan
There has been no public indication that the Chinese president intends to avoid Trump at the summit of world leaders in Osaka on June 28 and 29, where the pair are expected to discuss the raging trade war between their nations. "I think he will go and I think we're scheduled to have a meeting. I think he'll go," Trump said in a phone interview with CNBC Monday."I would be surprised if he didn't go. I think he's going. I haven't heard that he's not.
If the US insists on escalating trade frictions, we will respond firmly and keep it company to the end." Negotiations between China and the United States on a trade deal have stalled since talks broke down in early May, with both sides blaming the other.Shortly afterward, the Trump administration raised tariffs to 25% on $200 billion of Chinese goods. Beijing responded by raising tariffs on $60 billion of US exports and escalating its anti-American propaganda.
