Trump, Xi and Putin to meet in Shenzhen at APEC next week
What's new: Trump plans to press nuclear arms cuts and Iran, while Ukraine is expected to stay off the trilateral agenda.
Donald Trump, Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin are set to hold a first-ever trilateral leaders' meeting in Shenzhen next Thursday on the sidelines of the APEC summit, the White House said. Trump intends to use the session to discuss reducing nuclear arsenals and to raise the war in Iran, US officials said. Ukraine is not expected to be part of the talks because Washington is handling that through separate contacts with Moscow and Kyiv. Trump is also scheduled to hold a bilateral working lunch and meeting with Xi, his fourth meeting with the Chinese leader since returning to office last year. Officials said Elon Musk will travel with Trump to China but will not take part in the meeting.
