Date set for landmark trilateral summit between Trump, Xi and Putin in Shenzhen
Donald Trump, Xi Jinping, and Vladimir Putin will meet in Shenzhen on 19 November for historic trilateral talks focused on nuclear weapons and Iran.
Moscow and Washington have confirmed that US President Donald Trump, Chinese President Xi Jinping, and Russian President Vladimir Putin will gather on 19 November for a historic trilateral summit during the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in Shenzhen.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov confirmed the scheduling agreement, following earlier White House announcements. The talks will focus on global nuclear disarmament and the ongoing conflict in Iran. US officials reiterated that negotiations regarding Ukraine will remain separate and off the main agenda, as Washington conducts those discussions independently of Beijing. Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky expressed deep concern over the upcoming meeting, warning that the gathering risks morphing into a Yalta-style "redistribution of spheres of influence."
