Trump Seeks Meeting With Xi and Putin at APEC Shenzhen

U.S. President Donald Trump said he plans to meet Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin at the APEC summit in Shenzhen, China, on Nov. 18-19. If it takes place, it would be the first trilateral meeting for the three leaders. Trump said the talks would include denuclearization and efforts to end the U.S. war with Iran. The Wall Street Journal previously reported that Putin also proposed a three-way forum to discuss Russia's war in Ukraine. Beijing has not issued an official statement. Xi is scheduled to host this year’s APEC summit, which brings together 21 member economies in the Asia-Pacific region.
