Analysis-A New ‘Yalta’? Trump and Putin Push for a Meeting that Xi Is Wary of Hosting
- Next week in Shenzhen, President Donald Trump, Chinese President Xi Jinping, and Russian President Vladimir Putin may meet at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum, with negotiations underway to finalize an agenda.

- While the US and Russia each possess more than 5,000 nuclear warheads, China has around 500, prospects for a grand bargain remain slim; a US official said on Friday that Trump is not likely to raise the Ukraine war.
