US, Russia and China discuss trilateral meeting between Trump, Putin and Xi, FT reports
- Donald Trump, Xi Jinping, and Vladimir Putin are preparing for a potential trilateral meeting at the APEC summit in Shenzhen later this month, according to reports. This would mark the first such conference between the three leaders.
- Seeking to warm ties, Trump announced a diesel-fuel deal and signed an order waiving sanctions on Moscow in October. The United States leader also pursued stable relations with Jinping, marking his third visit with the Chinese leader this year.
- While Trump indicated openness to discussing nuclear arms control and trade, Putin suggested using the meeting to negotiate an end to the four-year-old conflict in Ukraine in a manner favoring Moscow.
- Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters on Tuesday there is a general understanding that a meeting would be useful, though German president Frank-Walter Steinmeier reported Jinping seemed confused when asked about the potential summit last week.
- Across Europe and Asia, a three-way meeting would raise alarms over private deals weakening alliances. The three nations collectively hold the world's largest stockpiles of nuclear warheads, according to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute.
