In a first, Trump to hold historic trilateral meeting with Xi, Putin in China next week | All you need to know
US President Donald Trump, Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping are set to hold their first-ever trilateral meeting in Shenzhen next week. The talks are expected to focus on nuclear disarmament and the Iran war, while discussions on Ukraine are unlikely.
In a historic first, President Donald Trump will hold a trilateral meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin in China next week, according to the White House. The meeting, scheduled for Thursday, aims to discuss reducing nuclear arsenals. However, the three leaders are not expected to address Russia's ongoing war in Ukraine, as US officials have stated.
Trump's trip to China includes a series of meetings and a bilateral working lunch with Xi, but will not involve a separate one-on-one with Putin. Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk will join Trump on the trip, but will not participate in the trilateral talks. The US will not discuss export controls on chip technology, a key issue in the Nvidia scandal, during their talks with the Chinese leaders.
Trump is expected to talk about Iran during the meeting, a subject he has made clear he intends to address.
