Trump, Putin and Xi’s Shenzhen Summit: Key Disputes Threatening Trilateral Cooperation

The proposed meeting could focus on nuclear arms control and limiting AI in nuclear command systems, while talks on Ukraine remain sidelined.

  • On November 18–19, President Xi Jinping, President Donald Trump, and President Vladimir Putin may hold a trilateral summit during the APEC meeting in Shenzhen, with discussions reportedly focused on nuclear arms control and artificial intelligence technology.
  • Russian President Vladimir Putin proposed the trilateral format last month, but organizing the meeting has proven difficult because the three leaders hold vastly different priorities.
  • Russia seeks to discuss the war in Ukraine, while President Trump prioritizes nuclear weapons and the Iran war, as China typically prefers bilateral meetings and remains tight-lipped on the agenda.
  • Fears of a 'Yalta-like' redistribution of influence have emerged, with Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky warning that powerful nations might determine the security of other countries without their input.
  • The summit will likely end without a 'grand bargain,' according to Wang Wen, dean of the Chongyang Institute for Financial Studies, as talks may only produce minor outcomes like crisis hotlines or cooperation on counter-terrorism.
