BUENOS AIRES, Argentina—President Donald Trump is canceling a planned news conference at the Group of 20 summit in Argentina on Dec. 1, “out of respect for the Bush Family” after the death of former President George H.W. Bush.

In a tweet, Trump says he was “very much looking forward” to speaking with the news media before leaving the summit in Buenos Aires “because we have had such great success in our dealing with various countries and their leaders at the G20.”
