Chinese state media reported shortly following the announcement that Xi had agreed to meet with Trump at the summit, scheduled for June 28-29 in Osaka.
Xi said he hoped that the U.S. treats Chinese companies fairly, according to Chinese media a possible reference to Huawei, the Chinese telecommunications giant that faces a ban because of what the U.S. calls national security issues.
China had kept mum about whether Xi would agree to a face-to-face meeting with the U.S. president at the summit while the two economic superpowers remain locked in a heated trade dispute.
Trump has said he expected that meeting to occur at the high-profile summit, but had recently downplayed the impact that it could have on forging a trade deal with Beijing. Trump told Fox News Fox & Friends last week that it doesnt matter if Xi attends the G-20 or not.
If he shows up, good, if he doesnt in the meantime, were taking in billions of dollars a month [in tariffs] from China, Trump told Fox.
The Chinese embassy in Washington did not immediately respond to CNBCs request for comment on Trumps tweet.

I doubt Xi cancels!
Xi you there!
First side of the pincer movement
Second side is that issue of human trafficking
Expect a list of "the 26" to have their assets frozen.
Hint...note how rapidly Mexico caved when presented with their set of 26
Game set and match to President Trump.
Xi blinks.
Bad news. I want the tariffs.
The 26?
Market up sharply in response!
Mexican tax officials froze assets of 26 individuals and entities allegedly promoting Central American migrant caravans that moved thousands through Mexico to the US border. The funding allegedly came from the US, England, Africa, and Central America. Mexicos Finance and Tax Secretariat (SHCP) announced the freezing of the accounts claiming the move resulted from an investigation by their Financial Intelligence Unit (UIF).

And we have a back up list of 260 that we can asset freeze according to the President Trump EO of December 2017....maybe you are on the list.....are you feeling lucky punk?
Choose wisely grasshopper.
CNBC does not have the slightest clue about the significance of these meetings. Their opinion pieces have no value whatsoever.
Excellent.
It is in China’s interest also to come to a friendly agreement with the US.
It better for the American workers if China keeps its hard line and Trump goes ahead with the tariffs. Then again I am patriot which is rare thing around here.
F the “market”. A bunch of myopic globalists.
Trump said he would immediately impose another 300 billion in tariffs if xi did not attend the attend the g20,so a guess who is going
Fixed it,
Me too. I want the tariffs for another 6 years. The chiclowns even cheated by re-labeling as ‘MADE IN VIETNAM’ on their recent shipments.
“Market up sharply in response!
“
Yep. The market seems to be factoring in an eventual deal. We shall see if Trump the deal-maker comes through.
