President Trump appeared to downplay expectations about a possible meeting with Xi Jinping at the G-20 summit later this month, saying “it doesn’t matter” if the Chinese president shows up or not, CNBC reports.
Said Trump: “If he shows up, good, if he doesn’t – in the meantime, we’re taking in billions of dollars a month in tariffs from China.”
Just a few days ago, Trump vowed to immediately slap tariffs on an additional $300 billion worth of Chinese imports if Xi didn’t attend the summit.
