Trump cancels G20 press conference in light of George H.W. Bush's death

President Trump cancelled his press conference scheduled for the end of the G20 summit on Saturday, "out of respect for the Bush family and former President George H.W. Bush."

"I was very much looking forward to having a press conference just prior to leaving Argentina because we have had such great success in our dealing with various countries and their leaders at the G20....However, out of respect for the Bush Family and former President George H.W. Bush we will wait until after the funeral to have a press conference."
