Trump open to idea of joint meeting with Xi, Putin next month
US President Donald Trump has sought to warm ties with Russia and China as the two non-Western powers grow closer, a move that could lower global tensions but also raise alarms for US allies.
US President Donald Trump has indicated a willingness to engage in a three-way meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin in the coming month, with the discussions potentially focusing on nuclear disarmament and denuclearization. Trump stated during a press conference outside the White House that he would participate in such a meeting, specifically adding that he would be open to discussing other issues like trade as well.
However, some critics have expressed concern that a potential joint meeting between the three leaders could lead to increased tensions and undermine existing alliances with Europe and Asia. The White House did not provide immediate comment on the potential meeting, nor did the Russian and Chinese embassies in Washington.
