World : Trump To Hold Trilateral Talks With Xi, Putin In China Next Week - White House

Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping are set to host the inaugural three-way summit between the leaders of the United States, Russia and China in Shenzhen next week, according to the White House. The agenda for these talks, scheduled for Thursday, includes discussions on nuclear arms reduction and the ongoing conflict in Iran, though a conversation on Russia's war in Ukraine is not anticipated, according to US officials.

The trilateral meeting will take place on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in the southern Chinese city of Shenzhen. President Trump has made it known that reducing nuclear weapons globally is a priority, but Ukraine is not expected to be part of the conversation. Trump's trip will also include a bilateral meeting with Xi, their fourth since the new administration took office, as well as a working lunch with the Chinese president.

Other topics on the agenda include discussions about Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang's resignation over an alleged affair with a Chinese spy, but this issue is expected not to impact the overall summit, according to multiple US officials. Before his departure from Washington, Trump will hold a summit in the Philippines for the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) before traveling to Shenzhen.
