Donald Trump made this statement because he figures President Xi Jinping will appear at the G-20. What has President Xi done to indicate that he will not appear at the G-20? Trump is just trying to get another cheap win. President Xi will show up at the G-20 and then Trump will claim that President Xi would not have attended if he had not threatened to impose tariffs. I would not be surprised if Trump went as far as to say that President Xi never attended the G-20 during President Obama's time in office.
