Donald Trump said that he thinks he will go and thinks to have a scheduled meeting and he has a strong mind to attend it. Furthermore, he said that if the Chinese president didn’t go to the summit, it would surprise him whereas he didn’t hear that Xi doesn’t want to go there. On the other side, he also said that with all the expectations of the meeting if it doesn’t happen, that is fine and if they do that is also fine.
