China confirms talks on possible Xi-Trump-Putin summit

news18.com —

China confirmed Friday it is discussing a possible summit between President Xi Jinping, US counterpart Donald Trump, and Russian President Vladimir Putin, marking the first official acknowledgment of such talks. Foreign ministry spokesperson Mao Ning said China is in communication with relevant parties about a meeting of the three heads of state, which would be historic if held during a regional economic summit this month in Shenzhen. Experts note the leaders may struggle to align agendas, as Trump seeks nuclear arms control while Putin wants Ukraine war talks without Kyiv, and a summit could upset Europe even as China aims for a diplomatic win.
