Reuters: Canada's Trudeau, Xi had 'positive' discussions as dispute rages: Ottawa
OTTAWA (Reuters) - Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Chinese President Xi Jinping had “positive, constructive interactions” on the sidelines of the G20 summit on Friday as a dispute between the two countries rages, Trudeau’s office said.

Video footage from the meeting showed Trudeau and Xi speaking briefly through interpreters before shaking hands.
