White House announces trilateral meeting between Trump, Putin, and Xi in China

The White House announced on Friday that US President Donald Trump will meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin on Thursday during the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit in Shenzhen. According to US officials, the proposed trilateral meeting—which would be the first of its kind between the leaders of the three nations—will focus primarily on global nuclear arms reduction and non-proliferation. Discussions may also cover ongoing regional conflicts, including the war in Iran. However, neither Beijing nor Moscow has officially confirmed the summit, having previously only acknowledged preliminary talks regarding such a meeting.
