REHOBOTH BEACH, Delaware (Reuters) - U.S. President Joe Biden said on Sunday that he was disappointed that Chinese President Xi Jinping was not attending the summit of G20 leaders in India, but added that he was going to "get to see him."

"I am disappointed ... but I am going to get to see him," Biden told reporters in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, without elaborating.

Biden will visit India from Sept. 7-10 for a summit of the Group of 20 nations, followed by a trip to Vietnam as his administration seeks to strengthen U.S. relations in Asia.

Xi is likely to skip the summit and Chinese Premier Li Qiang is expected to represent Beijing at the meeting in New Delhi, sources familiar with the matter have told Reuters.

Asked if he was looking forward to his trip, Biden said, "Yes, I am."

"I want a little more ... coordination. I think they both (India and Vietnam) want much closer relations with the United States and that can be very helpful," Biden said.

You've got to admire the man's energy to travel all over the globe for American diplomacy. So much better then trump sitting home farting and tweeting while eating Bic Macs in front of the TV all night.
diplomacy? is that why there has been nothing but global conflicts and hostility since he took office? Biden is the reason for the alliance of the brics
The dummy chimes in with another falsity. The BRICS formally organized in 2006, during the George W. Bush administration. Get your facts straight.
and what was done with the idea brad? it wasn't until Biden weaponized the dollar that action was taken. wouldn't expect the most ignorant foot soldier of the left to admit it. no one here believes your propaganda half bright
