President Biden does not plan to meet this weekend with Chinese Premier Li Qiang, who is attending the G20 summit in place of President Xi Jinping.
“We don’t have a plan for the president to engage with the Chinese premier this weekend at this time,” National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan told reporters late Thursday on the Air Force One flight to New Delhi, India.
“We take the security of our installations extremely seriously against any form of threat, and we will continue to do that,” Mr. Sullivan said, before revealing the lack of a meeting with Mr. Li. Mr. Sullivan said Mr. Biden and Mr. Xi have not spoken to each other directly since the fall 2022 G20 summit in Bali, Indonesia. There has been plenty of friction between the two nations, from Beijing’s aggressive posture in the South China Sea to its coziness with Russia and its decision to float a spy balloon over U.S. soil.
