Trump says 'it doesn't matter' if China's Xi attends G20

US President Donald Trump said on Friday "it doesn't matter" if Chinese leader Xi Jinping attends the Group of 20 summit later this month in the Japanese city of Osaka, predicting a trade deal with Beijing would occur at some point anyway.

Mr Trump repeatedly said he would meet with Mr Xi at the summit, although China has not confirmed the meeting. The two men last met at last year's G20 summit in Argentina, and agreed to a pause to their trade war. The two countries were engaged in talks in order to reach a detente, but those ended in May without a deal. Washington has accused Beijing of reneging on several promises, which China has denied.

In a commentary on Saturday, an influential and widely-read state media social media account said certain people were"creating talk of a so-called 'leaders meeting'" in the run-up to the G20 summit.
