China confirmed negotiations with the US and Russia to organize a meeting between President Donald Trump and leaders Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping, potentially during the APEC summit on November 18-19 in Shenzhen. No date has been set, and it would mark the first joint meeting of the three leaders. Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning stated on Wednesday that China maintains communication with relevant parties, without confirming an agreement or timeline. The Kremlin also confirmed preparations, with spokesperson Dmitry Peskov saying work was underway. Trump has expressed interest in discussing nuclear arms reduction agreements. Trump aims to focus on nuclear weapons control, while Putin seeks talks on the Ukraine war. China has resisted multilateral nuclear disarmament negotiations, citing its smaller arsenal compared to the US and Russia.
