China confirms for the first time that it’s in talks over a possible Trump-Xi-Putin meeting

China has officially confirmed, for the first time, its involvement in negotiations for a potential trilateral meeting involving Xi Jinping, Donald Trump, and Vladimir Putin. According to Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning, Beijing is actively maintaining communication with the relevant parties regarding this possibility.

The meeting, which could occur at the APEC summit in Shenzhen on November 18-19, has been suggested by Putin during a phone call with Trump on October 9. Putin expressed his desire to leverage this format to achieve a favorable outcome for Russia in terms of ending the war. While Trump has affirmed his willingness to participate in such a meeting, he has emphasized his primary interest in discussing nuclear disarmament rather than the ongoing Russian-Ukrainian conflict.
