Kremlin signals possible three-way meeting at APEC summit between Putin, Trump, Xi
Russian President Vladimir Putin, U.S. President Donald Trump, and Chinese President Xi Jinping could hold a trilateral meeting at the upcoming APEC summit in China, Kremlin aide Yuri Ushakov said on Sept. 1.
Kremlin aide Yuri Ushakov suggested that a potential trilateral summit between Russian President Vladimir Putin, U.S. President Donald Trump, and Chinese President Xi Jinping could occur at the upcoming APEC conference in China. The Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit is set to be held in Shenzhen, China, on November 18-19.
The Chinese government has positioned the event to foster economic growth in the Asia-Pacific region. Ushakov did not disclose the specifics of the planned talks or whether all three leaders have consented to the meeting. Relations between Russia and China have notably strengthened since the onset of Russia's military operation in Ukraine, as Beijing is a major purchaser of Russian oil and a provider of military equipment components.
Meanwhile, Washington and Moscow have been engaging more frequently under the Trump administration, which has worked to facilitate negotiations for a resolution to the conflict. However, efforts to broker peace have so far been unsuccessful, with Russia and Ukraine remaining deeply divided over territorial disputes.
