President Donald Trump is heading to Argentina Thursday for the annual Group of 20 summit.

The  forum brings together  leading rich and developing nations to address economic issues like trade, climate change and fair and sustainable development.

Tensions are expected to be high for this year's summit.

President Trump's warned he'll  likely boost tariffs  on Chinese goods if he and Chinese President Xi Jinping can't work out a deal; European countries are  calling for more sanctions  to be placed on Russia over it's naval confrontation with Ukraine; and some leaders might  reportedly refuse to shake hands  with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman over his possible involvement in the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

As for President Trump's packed schedule —  The Associated Press reports  he's going to attend eight high-level meetings during the 48 hours he's on the ground in Buenos Aires.  Beyond sitting down with China's President, he's also  expected to meet  with leaders from South Korea, Japan and Turkey.

An aide for Russian President Vladimir Putin  said he'd meet  with President Trump Saturday, but the White House had not confirmed that meeting as of Thursday morning.  Additional reporting from  Newsy affiliate CNN .
