Trump to hold first trilateral meeting with Xi and Putin on nuclear non-proliferation

President Donald Trump will meet jointly with China’s Xi Jinping and Russia’s Vladimir Putin next week, marking the first-ever trilateral sit-down between the three leaders, the White House confirmed Friday. The meeting, held on the sidelines of the APEC summit in China, will focus on nuclear non-proliferation, a topic Trump has prioritized. The last US-Russia nuclear arms treaty expired in February, while China has been rapidly expanding its nuclear arsenal. US officials downplayed expectations of a new agreement, calling the talks an “entry point” for future dialogue. Elon Musk is expected to accompany Trump on the trip.
