White House trade adviser Peter Navarro won’t attend Trump-Xi dinner
By ZHOU XIN | SOUTH CHINA MORNING POST 11/21/2018 08:06 AM EST
Peter Navarro, the controversial White House trade policy adviser and a famous China hawk, will not be on the guest list when U.S. President Donald Trump meets his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping in Buenos Aires on December 1, according to a source with knowledge of the matter.
“Navarro will not attend the summit,” the person told the South China Morning Post on condition of anonymity.
The source added that Beijing and Washington were still in the process of finalizing the list of advisers taking part in the key diplomatic event that could influence trade and economic relations between the world’s two biggest economies for years to come.
The South China Morning Post reported earlier that Beijing and Washington are in intense preparatory talks for the summit – a dinner meeting at which each president is likely to be accompanied by six aides.
The Trump administration’s decision to exclude Navarro – a key figure behind the trade war with China – from the high-stakes dinner in Argentina comes amid signs from both sides that they want to make progress on the dispute at the summit.
