Trump, Xi, and Putin scheduled for landmark trilateral talks in Shenzhen
Donald Trump, Xi Jinping, and Vladimir Putin will meet for a historic trilateral summit in Shenzhen on 19 November to discuss nuclear weapons and Iran.
US President Donald Trump, Chinese President Xi Jinping, and Russian President Vladimir Putin are set to gather in Shenzhen on 19 November for a historic trilateral summit alongside the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum. Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov and White House officials confirmed the talks, which mark the first meeting involving all three leaders simultaneously.
According to US officials, the agenda will focus primarily on nuclear arms reduction and the conflict in Iran. Washington specified that the war in Ukraine will not be officially addressed, explaining that those negotiations are handled through separate diplomatic channels without Beijing's participation. No distinct bilateral meeting between Trump and Putin is planned.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky voiced opposition to the summit, expressing concern that the negotiations could lead to a "redistribution of spheres of influence" similar to the 1945 Yalta Conference.
