Trump open to idea of joint meeting with Xi, Putin next month
Nuclear talks between the US, China and Russia could happen as soon as next month after Donald Trump says he is open to a three-way summit.
US President Donald Trump expressed openness on Monday (Oct 19) to holding a three-way summit with Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin, potentially as soon as next month. Trump told reporters outside the White House that such a meeting would focus on nuclear weapons and denuclearisation, but also mentioned trade.
Trump stated he would participate in the summit, not so much for Ukraine, as Russia had been cooperative, though he criticized Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy for not helping matters. The possible meeting would be on the sidelines of the upcoming Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in China.
