Press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said during a press briefing that although the White House has not ‘ruled out any interaction,’ the president’s schedule at the summit, which takes place Friday [11-30-18] and Saturday [12-1-8] in Buenos Aires, does not allow for any additional meetings…Trump will meet with Argentinian President Mauricio Macri, South Korean President Moon Jae-in, Japanese Prime Minister Shinzō Abe and Chinese leader Xi Jinping. He will also meet with more controversial leaders such as Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, who has been criticized for autocratic tendencies, as well as Russian President Vladimir Putin.”
