Trump and Xi to talk on Friday? That’s the latest chatter.

The latest scuttlebutt is that Trump and Xi will talk on Friday – thats from unnamed sources.

Meanwhile, via Politico (a US politics site):

• “The president is obsessed with having a call with Xi,” said one person familiar with the trade talks, convinced he can personally hash out deep-seated divisions between the world’s two largest economies mano a mano with Xi.

Yeah, that’s garbage. The way it’ll go is that Trump will talk with Xi when something has already been agreed to and then he’ll take credit.

That’s the way it works. Its not rocket science.
