Trump to meet with China’s Xi and Russia’s Putin at historic trilateral sit-down on nuclear non-proliferation
The first three-way talks are expected to focus on nuclear arms reduction and Iran, with officials saying no concrete agreement is likely.
- According to the White House, President Donald Trump will meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin in Shenzhen, China, on November 19 for an unprecedented trilateral summit on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit.
- Assistant Press Secretary Olivia Wales stated that Trump intends to focus the discussions on nuclear arms control and reducing global nuclear stockpiles, following the expiration of the New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty earlier in the year.
- A senior U.S. administration official noted that Washington views China's rapidly expanding nuclear arsenal as a central reason for bringing Beijing into arms control talks, while cautioning that the summit is intended as an initial conversation rather than a forum expected to produce an immediate formal agreement.
- According to administration officials, Trump also plans to discuss the conflict with Iran during the three-way sit-down, though Russia's war against Ukraine will not be explicitly on the agenda because Washington and Moscow are addressing that conflict on a separate diplomatic track that does not involve Beijing.
- Before the trilateral session, Trump is scheduled to hold a bilateral meeting and working lunch with Xi Jinping, while the White House confirmed that Trump and Putin will not hold a separate one-on-one meeting during the trip.
