China, US discuss tariffs, farm trade ahead of Xi-Trump meeting

Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin, and Xi Jinping are scheduled to hold a three-way meeting in Shenzhen next week on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit, according to the White House. White House spokeswoman Olivia Wales stated the meeting will involve the leaders of the US, Russia, and China.

President Trump intends to discuss the reduction of global nuclear arsenals during the trilateral talks, a topic he believes is dangerous. A senior US official noted that while Trump intends to discuss the war in Iran, he is not expected to discuss Russia's war in Ukraine during this meeting, as Washington is conducting separate negotiations with Moscow and Kyiv regarding that conflict.

Separately, Beijing has repeatedly called on Washington to implement a $60 billion tariff-reduction deal, which it views as a prerequisite for increasing the purchase of US farm products, according to CNBC World.
