TRUMP, PUTIN AND XI SET FOR HISTORIC THREE-WAY MEETING IN CHINA
United States President Donald Trump, Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping are expected to hold an unprecedented three-way meeting in China next week.
The White House has confirmed plans for the leaders to meet on Thursday, November 19, on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in Shenzhen.
The meeting will bring together the leaders of the world’s three major nuclear powers at a time of heightened international tensions.
Discussions are expected to focus on nuclear arms control, global security and the conflict involving Iran.
President Trump has expressed interest in negotiating a new nuclear arms agreement involving China following the expiration of the New START treaty between the United States and Russia earlier this year.
The proposed meeting also comes amid continuing concerns over Russia’s war in Ukraine and growing competition between Washington and Beijing.
Although the gathering is being described as historically significant, American officials have cautioned that no major agreements are expected immediately.
Political analysts believe the meeting could nevertheless influence future diplomatic relations and international security negotiations.
