Trump to hold first trilateral summit with Xi and Putin in China on nuclear deal

President Donald Trump will meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin next Thursday in China, marking the first-ever trilateral summit among the three leaders, according to a New York Post report. The talks, expected on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation conference in Shenzhen, will center on a nuclear arms deal Trump has pursued since his first term, arguing that maintaining large stockpiles is costly. The three nations control most of the world’s nuclear weapons. The summit may also address the war in Iran, North Korea, and potentially Russia’s war in Ukraine, though the latter is not a top agenda item. Trump previewed the meeting Sunday, citing denuclearization and efforts to end the Iran conflict.
