President Donald Trump on June 14 said it “doesn’t matter” if Chinese leader Xi Jinping attends the upcoming G20 Summit or not, saying he believed the two countries would reach a trade deal at some point anyway.

“We’re going to see. Eventually they’re going to make a deal,” Trump said in an interview with Fox News.
