    News, Michael Schuman, Published on 30/11/2018

    » Hopes are already fading that China's President Xi Jinping and his US counterpart Donald Trump will achieve a breakthrough in their trade war during this weekend's Group of 20 summit in Argentina. Even Mr Trump poured cold water on the idea, saying only days before the conference that it was "highly unlikely" he'd hold off on a planned boost to tariffs.
