US President Donald Trump said he expected to meet Chinese President Xi Jinping at this month’s G20 summit in Osaka, even though relations between the powers were “a bit testy”.
Speaking at a press conference in the White House Rose Garden, Mr Trump accused China of reneging on a trade deal that he said the two nations had agreed last month but added that he still hoped to sign an agreement with China.
“We’re going to be meeting, President Xi and myself. And you know we have a very good relationship,” Mr Trump said at a briefing with Polish president Andrzej Duda. “We will end up making a deal with China. We have a very good relationship, although it’s a little bit testy right now?.?.?.?I think they really have to make a deal.”
