Trump and Xi trade talks loom large over G20 meeting in Japan
The US and Chinese presidents are expected to discuss the year-long dispute, but experts say substantive agreement is unlikely
A meeting between Donald Trump and Xi Jinping to discuss trade is expected to loom large over the upcoming G20 summit in Osaka, where the two leaders are expected to talk on the final day of the event.
Despite the highly anticipated meeting between the US and Chinese presidents on Saturday, the first since trade talks broke down in May, few expect a substantive agreement to end almost a year of trade tensions and months of deteriorating ties between the world’s two largest economies.
