President Biden told reporters Sunday he was "disappointed" Chinese President Xi Jinping reportedly will not attend the upcoming G20 summit scheduled to take place in India this week. 

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

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre announced on Aug. 22 that Biden will travel to New Delhi, India, from September 7-10 to attend the G20 Leaders’ Summit.

Biden and Xi last met at the prior G20 summit hosted in Bali, Indonesia, in November 2022. 

Washington-Beijing relations have taken a nosedive since then, after a Chinese spy craft traversed the continental United States earlier this year. Biden has sent several diplomats and even Secretary of State Antony Blinken, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, and Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo to China in recent months in an apparent effort to smooth tensions. Yet, the U.S. president had stood by his categorization of Xi as a "dictator" despite Beijing's outcry, including during a question and answer period alongside Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the White House in June.

Approaching reporters after he attended mass at St. Edmond Roman Catholic Church, the president also said Sunday he was aware of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s video announcement Sunday that he would ask parliament this week to dismiss Defense Minister Oleksii Reznikov. But Biden said he had no further comment publicly on the development. 

One reporter asked, "What do you want to achieve in India and Vietnam?"

"I want a little more coordination," Biden responded. "I think they both want closer relations with the United States and that could be very helpful." 

In announcing his travel last month, the White House said Biden and G20 partners "will discuss a range of joint efforts to tackle global issues, including on the clean energy transition and combating climate change, mitigating the economic and social impacts of Putin’s war in Ukraine, and increasing the capacity of multilateral development banks, including the World Bank, to better fight poverty, including by addressing global challenges."

While in New Delhi, Biden "will also commend Prime Minister Modi’s leadership of the G20 and reaffirm the U.S. commitment to the G20 as the premier forum of economic cooperation, including by hosting it in 2026," the White House said. 

Meanwhile, Xi addressed the Global Trade in Services Summit of the 2023 China International Fair for Trade in Services CIFTIS via video in Beijing Saturday. 

Xi is apparently skipping this week’s Group of 20 summit in India as bilateral relations remain icy.

Instead, Premier Li Qiang will represent China at the gathering, the Foreign Ministry said Monday in a brief notice on its website.

Relations between China and India have grown frosty over their disputed border, and three years ago the tensions resulted in a clash in the Ladakh region that killed 20 Indian soldiers. It turned into a long-running standoff in the rugged mountainous area, where each side stationed tens of thousands of military personnel backed by artillery, tanks and fighter jets. Frictions have also risen over trade and India’s growing strategic ties with China’s main rival, the United States. Both India and China also have expelled the other’s journalists.

India recently overtook China as the world’s most populous nation, and the two are rivals in technology, space exploration and global trade.

A Florida elementary school math teacher was shot and killed in a murder-suicide outside Miami while another victim was injured in the incident, according to police.

Maria Cruz de la Cruz, 51, was found with a gunshot wound inside a home in Palmetto Estates, located south of Miami, at about 4:20 p.m. on Friday, Miami-Dade Police Department Detective Angel Rodriguez said in a statement to the New York Post.

Cruz, who was also a mother, had worked at the Doral Academy K-8 Charter for nearly a decade when she was killed, a GoFundMe account established in her memory stated.

A man was also shot at the house before the male suspect – whose identity was not made public – turned the gun on himself and died by suicide, Rodriguez said, adding that a gun was found lying on the floor next to him.

Cruz and the male victim were transported to Jackson South Medical Center for treatment, where Cruz died from her injuries, Rodriguez said. The condition of the injured man was not disclosed.

"Detectives have determined this is a murder/suicide," Rodriguez told the Post.

Another woman was in the home during the incident, but was not injured.

The Miami-Dade Police Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Fox News Digital.

"It is with a heavy heart that we inform you of the loss of our cherished Ms. Maria Cruz," Doral Academy Principal Eleonora Cuesta said in a statement to WTVJ Miami. "Her compassion, commitment, and love for her students have left an indelible mark on us all. In these difficult times, our thoughts and heartfelt prayers are with her daughters."

"May the memory of our beloved Maria Cruz be a blessing," Cuesta added.

Doral Academy created a GoFundMe page to raise money for Cruz's daughters. As of Monday morning, it had amassed over $29,000.

"Please join our school community as we grieve the tragic loss of Ms. Maria Cruz, a beloved teacher who showed unwavering love and dedication to our Doral Academy and Just Arts and Management students for nearly a decade," the fundraiser said. "Let us come together for her two daughters as they navigate this extremely difficult time. Ms. Cruz will never be forgotten."

A neighbor told WTVJ that the people inside the home where the shooting happened were new to the neighborhood and that she did not know much about them.

"You don't know what the neighbors are capable of, it could have happened outside and someone could have gotten hurt innocently," she said. "I just hope that nothing like this ever happens again."

One neighbor told the outlet he called 911 after hearing the gunshots from his home. Another neighbor, Raidel Munoz, who lives several homes down from where the shooting happened, said the area being blocked off "is quite a surprise, to say the least."

"Noticed a bunch of ambulances coming by, firefighters, helicopter, then I came outside to see what was going on," Munoz said. "Quite very concerning, I never expected something like this so close to my home."

The events leading up to the shooting remain unclear, according to police.
