Trump, Xi Jinping and Putin Hold Key Meeting

In a significant diplomatic development, US President Donald Trump, Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin are set to meet for an unprecedented trilateral discussion on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit in Shenzhen, China. The White House confirmed plans for the meeting, which is scheduled for Thursday, November 19. The gathering will bring together the leaders of three major global powers and is expected to attract international attention.

Nuclear arms control and Iran are expected to be among the key subjects of discussion. According to US officials, the Ukraine war is not on the agenda for this trilateral meeting. However, expectations of an immediate breakthrough or formal agreement remain low. Officials view the meeting primarily as an opportunity to begin discussions and explore areas of possible cooperation, particularly on nuclear arms control. The talks could provide a starting point for further diplomatic engagement among the three countries.
