Treffen am Rande des Gipfels: Trump trifft Xi und Putin in China
Es bahnt sich ein Dreiertreffen auf höchster Ebene zwischen den USA, China und Russland an. Was wird bei dem historischen Zusammenkommen besprochen?
In the coming week, US President Donald Trump, Chinese President Xi Jinping, and Russian President Vladimir Putin are set to meet for a tripartite summit in China. According to White House and Kremlin sources, Trump hopes to discuss reducing global nuclear arsenals, according to government sources in Washington. The three leaders are expected to convene on November 19th in Shenzhen, just outside the APEC summit, as confirmed by Kremlin spokesman Dmitri Peskow.
The summit, part of the APEC economic forum, is unprecedented as it marks the first time the three nuclear powers have met together. While a bilateral meeting between Trump, Putin, and Xi took place at the G20 summit in Osaka, Japan in 2019, this summit will be the first tripartite meeting. A US official downplayed expectations for concrete outcomes or agreements from the nuclear disarmament talks, suggesting it is more of a first step.
Trump has previously floated the idea of a new nuclear disarmament treaty, but the 2010 New Start deal between Russia and the US expired this year. Following its expiration, Trump proposed a new deal that would last far into the future and urged China to be part of nuclear disarmament treaties.
