Trump says likely to meet Putin, Xi in China
The US president plans to discuss ending the Iran war and denuclearisation with the Chinese and Russian leaders at the Asia-Pacific summit in Shenzhen.
US President Donald Trump expressed his intention to meet with the leaders of Russia and China during an upcoming Asia-Pacific summit in Shenzhen, China, scheduled for November 18-19. Trump indicated that he expects to hold discussions with both Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin, highlighting that the meeting will be "interesting."
He added that the two key topics they will be discussing include denuclearisation and the ongoing Iran war. The Kremlin confirmed that this trilateral meeting is being prepared, following a Wall Street Journal report suggesting that Putin aimed to use the talks to broker a peace deal in Ukraine that would benefit Moscow, which invaded Ukraine in 2022.
Trump's decision to engage with Putin has drawn criticism in the United States, as the president is perceived to have a penchant for authoritarian leaders like those in China and Russia.
