Trump, Xi, and Putin to hold landmark trilateral talks in Shenzhen
US, Russian, and Chinese leaders will meet in Shenzhen to discuss nuclear arms control and Iran, excluding Ukraine from the formal agenda.
US President Donald Trump, Chinese President Xi Jinping, and Russian President Vladimir Putin are scheduled to meet for a landmark trilateral summit on 19 November in Shenzhen, China. White House and Kremlin officials confirmed the gathering will take place on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum.
According to US statements, discussions will focus on nuclear arms reduction and the conflict in Iran. Washington confirmed that the war in Ukraine is excluded from the agenda, as the US addresses Ukrainian diplomacy through separate channels excluding Beijing. Officials added that no standalone bilateral meeting between Trump and Putin is currently scheduled. While Washington and Moscow have announced the schedule, Chinese authorities have yet to publicly confirm the event.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky cautioned that the talks could resemble a Yalta-like distribution of global spheres of influence.
