Trump Heads to Japan for G-20 Summit

Steve Herman

   WHITE HOUSE - Just a month after a state visit to Japan, U.S. President
   Donald Trump is heading to the East Asian country again.

   In Osaka, Trump will attend the Group of 20 leaders' summit, during
   which he is scheduled to meet one-on-one on the sidelines with such
   fellow world leaders as Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian
   President Vladimir Putin.

   Before leaving Wednesday, Trump told reporters on the White House South
   Lawn that he'll be meeting with leaders of a lot of different countries
   "many of whom have been taking advantage of the United States -- but
   not anymore."

   A senior administration official told reporters Monday that Trump is
   "quite comfortable [with] his position going into the meeting" with
   China's President Xi following the breakdown of U.S.-China trade talks
   and increased tariffs on Beijing by Washington.
