Trump plans meeting with Putin and Xi on Nov. 19 — report

U.S. President Donald Trump is reportedly set to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping on November 19, according to The New York Post. The meeting, which could take place during the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation conference in Shenzhen, China, may focus on developing a nuclear arms control agreement.

Additionally, the leaders may discuss the war in Iran and the situation in North Korea. Trump has previously mentioned his intention to meet with both Putin and Xi during his China visit, expressing interest in discussing various issues, including denuclearization and ending the war in Iran. In October, The Wall Street Journal reported that Putin was the one who initiated the possibility of a meeting between the three leaders, hoping to negotiate a favorable outcome in the Russo-Ukrainian war.

However, The Guardian cautioned that talks involving the future of Ukraine without its participation would be a win for Moscow. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov dismissed such comparisons to the 1945 Yalta Conference, where the Allies divided spheres of influence in the post-war world.
