Trump-Putin-Xi meeting likely to be short on substance, rich in symbolism
The talks with the leaders of two countries that represent the biggest challenges to American power could set a worrying precedent for U.S. allies.
U.S. President Donald Trump is set to hold trilateral talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) forum in China. While the meeting is expected to lack concrete outcomes, it will undoubtedly be laden with symbolism that could establish a concerning precedent for U.S. allies, according to analysts and former officials.
The symbolism behind this unprecedented gathering of the three leaders could potentially have far-reaching implications for the international community.
