Trump, Xi and Putin plan an unprecedented joint meeting on the sidelines of APEC, officials say
The leaders are expected to open nuclear arms talks and discuss the Iran war, with no agreements likely, officials said.
- President Donald Trump will hold a trilateral summit with Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin on Thursday, November 19, on the sidelines of the APEC conference in Shenzhen, the New York Post reported Friday.
- This first-ever trilateral meeting between the three nations aims to advance a nuclear arms control pact Trump has pursued since his first term, offering him a chance to turn a year-old proposal into negotiations with Beijing and Moscow.
- Trump said earlier this week the agenda may include North Korea, the war in Ukraine, and the conflict in Iran, noting that "denuclearization" remains key and "We're trying to end the war in Iran."
- The White House and China did not immediately respond to requests for comment regarding the summit, which involves the three nations controlling most of the world's nuclear stockpiles.
- Trump argued that maintaining vast nuclear stockpiles is unnecessarily expensive, positioning the summit as an effort to manage global security costs while potentially addressing other pressing global concerns.
