Trump to Meet Putin and Xi in China, But Won’t Discuss Russia’s War in Ukraine, White House Says
US President Donald Trump will meet Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping at a trilateral summit in Shenzhen on Nov. 19. The White House said discussions will focus on nuclear arms reduction and Iran, while Russia’s war against Ukraine will remain off the agenda.
President Donald Trump is set to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping in China next week for a three-way summit, but the conflict in Ukraine will not be discussed, according to the White House. The meeting is scheduled for Thursday, November 19, during the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit in Shenzhen.
The topics expected to dominate the discussions include nuclear arms reduction and the war in Iran. A White House spokeswoman confirmed that President Trump intends to address the reduction of nuclear weapons, deeming proliferation as a significant danger. However, senior administration officials indicated that the conflict in Ukraine would not be on the agenda, as the United States is pursuing a separate diplomatic process with Ukraine and Russia.
Kremlin foreign policy aide Yuri Ushakov had previously suggested that the summit would provide an opportunity for Trump and Putin to continue negotiations on Ukraine.
