Putin, Trump and Xi Jinping Meeting Set for November 19 in Shenzhen
On the sidelines of the APEC summit, the leaders of the US, Russia and China may discuss a new nuclear arms control agreement, as well as the situations around Iran, Ukraine and North Korea
The date of the trilateral meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin, US President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping has been officially set: the talks will take place on Thursday, November 19, in the Chinese city of Shenzhen. This was reported by The New York Post, citing a White House representative.
The meeting will be held on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit. The central topic of the talks is expected to be the drafting of a large-scale nuclear arms control agreement — one of the most ambitious diplomatic projects under consideration by the three nuclear powers. In addition, the sides may touch on acute international issues: the situation around Ukraine, the Iranian nuclear program, and tensions on the Korean Peninsula.
Donald Trump last met with Vladimir Putin in August last year in Alaska. Xi Jinping visited Washington in September on an official state visit. The upcoming meeting in Shenzhen will be the first trilateral talks between the leaders of the three countries in such a format.
