Eleven names to watch in the race for the White House in 2028

In a move that could reshape international relations, the leaders of the United States, China, and Russia are set to convene an unprecedented joint meeting during next week's Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in Shenzhen. This landmark trilateral summit marks the first time that the heads of the world's three major nuclear powers will gather for talks.

While analysts anticipate that the meeting will lack significant breakthroughs, it is expected to serve as a symbolic gesture, signaling a willingness for dialogue among the nations. Plans for the meeting were confirmed by the White House on Friday, as tensions continue to simmer between the three countries. President Trump has sought to mend relations with both Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin, despite ongoing disagreements over issues such as Iran and Ukraine.

The upcoming meeting comes at a time when the U.S. nuclear arms treaty with Russia has expired, and the leaders are eager to discuss potential ways forward on nuclear disarmament. However, the meeting may also be overshadowed by the APEC summit, as China seeks to showcase its growing influence and economic prowess on the global stage.
