Trump, Xi Jinping and Putin plan to meet on November 19 on the sidelines of the APEC summit in Shenzhen. The White House has approved the plan, but the agenda and format are still being finalized. Moscow wants to discuss the war in Ukraine, but Beijing opposes including the issue on the agenda, and Trump, according to an American source, is unlikely to raise the Ukrainian issue, preferring to focus on the control of nuclear weapons (no agreements are expected). The meeting is compared to the Yalta Conference in 1945; Zelensky previously warned against a "new Yalta" and against negotiations on European security on Russia's terms.
