Putin-Trump-Xi meeting not ruled out: Russia
Russia's Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov stated on Sunday that Moscow has not dismissed the prospect of a trilateral meeting between the leaders of Russia, the United States, and China. However, he emphasized that before finalizing the preparations, it is crucial to determine the agenda of the meeting. The primary concern revolves around defining the meeting's content and expected outcomes.
Earlier this month, Kremlin aide Yuri Ushakov mentioned the possibility of a meeting involving Russian President Vladimir Putin, U.S. President Donald Trump, and Chinese President Xi Jinping at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in Shenzhen, China, scheduled for November. According to Ushakov, while such a gathering would not be without value, its organization would be the responsibility of the summit's hosts.
If they manage to arrange such a meeting, which requires diplomatic preparations, he believes it could transpire.
Additionally, the Kremlin intends to arrange bilateral meetings for Putin during the summit, including one with Chinese President Xi Jinping, and, if circumstances permit, a meeting with U.S. President Trump, as reported by Ushakov.
