Trump to skip Ukraine talks with Xi and Putin, focus on Iran war in China

President Donald Trump will not discuss Ukraine with Chinese leader Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin during their trilateral meeting in Shenzhen, but will address the U.S. war with Iran, a U.S. official said Saturday. The three leaders plan to meet Thursday on the sidelines of the APEC summit, marking an unprecedented gathering of the world's biggest nuclear powers. The White House confirmed the summit Friday, though analysts expect the talks to be heavier in symbolism than substance, with no agreements anticipated. The meeting follows the February expiration of the New START treaty, which left U.S. and Russian arsenals uncapped for the first time in over 50 years. Trump seeks a new three-way nuclear pact, but China, with over 600 warheads versus more than 5,000 each for the U.S. and Russia, has shown little interest.
