President Donald Trump said June 26 it was “absolutely possible” that an upcoming meeting with Chinese leader Xi Jinping at the G-20 Summit in Japan would yield progress in trade talks, such that he would not impose additional tariffs he had threatened to put on more Chinese goods.

Trump is expected to meet Xi on June 29, the first meeting between the two leaders since trade talks broke down in early May, when the U.S. administration accused the Chinese regime of reneging on commitments negotiated over months of talks.
