Trump plans to meet Xi, Putin at APEC summit in China
President Donald Trump stated on Sunday that he believes he will meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin at the APEC leaders' summit in China on November 18-19, Reuters reports.
US President Donald Trump announced on Sunday his intention to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping at an upcoming Asia-Pacific summit in Shenzhen, China, from November 18-19. The summit aims to address economic and security concerns in the region. Trump expressed his expectation of engaging in discussions with both leaders during the meeting, stating that they would discuss a wide range of topics, including denuclearisation and efforts to end the Iran war.
The Kremlin confirmed on October 21 that this trilateral meeting is being prepared for the first time. This announcement comes in response to a Wall Street Journal report that suggested Putin sought the three-way talks to negotiate a favorable peace deal in Ukraine, which Russia had invaded in 2022. Trump has faced criticism in the United States for his apparent affinity for authoritarian leaders from China and Russia, as well as his efforts to reduce the international isolation of Russia following its invasion of Ukraine.
