BUENOS AIRES (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 29th November, 2018) US President Donald Trump will meet with his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping at a dinner in Buenos Aires during the G20 summit on December 1, Argentine media reported on Thursday.Earlier in the week, Trump said that he would slap tariffs on an additional $267 billion worth of Chinese imports if he fails to make a deal at a meeting with Xi during the G20 summit, which will be held in the Argentine capital on Friday and Saturday.
At the upcoming meeting, the leaders are expected to discuss trade disagreements that currently impact trade and financial markets all around the world, according to the Infobae media outlet.
China and the United States have been embroiled in a trade dispute since Trump unveiled new steel and aluminum import duties in March. Tensions escalated in May when the Trump administration announced that $50 billion worth of Chinese goods would be subject to 25 percent tariffs, prompting a retaliation from Beijing. Since then, the Trump administration has imposed tariffs on $250 billion worth of Chinese goods, prompting China to respond by imposing reciprocal tariffs.
