Trump to meet Putin, Xi in China
WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump said Sunday he would likely be meeting with the leaders of Russia and China next week to discuss ending the Iran war.
US President Donald Trump announced on Sunday that he will likely be meeting with the leaders of Russia and China in Shenzhen, China, next week. The Asia-Pacific summit, scheduled for November 18-19, aims to discuss ending the Iran war. Trump expects to meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin during the summit.
He stated that the discussions will cover various topics, including denuclearisation, but primarily focus on resolving the war in Iran. The Kremlin confirmed that this unprecedented trilateral meeting is being prepared, following a report by the Wall Street Journal suggesting that Putin sought a peace deal in Ukraine favorable to Moscow.
Trump has faced criticism in the United States for his fondness for authoritarian leaders like Putin and Xi, who invaded Ukraine in 2022. Trump's willingness to meet with these leaders marks a significant effort to end Russia's international isolation, which began with its invasion of Ukraine.
