China’s Xi arrives for high-stakes G20 summit

OSAKA, Japan (AFP) — Chinese President Xi Jinping arrived Thursday in Osaka on the eve of a crunch G20 summit likely to be dominated by a long-running trade fight with the United States.

Xi is expected to hold trade talks with President Donald Trump on the sidelines of the two-day meeting starting Friday but analysts see a temporary tariff truce as a more likely outcome than a game-changing breakthrough.
