Trump, Putin and Xi Jinping will hold the first ever tripartite meeting in China.

Trump, Putin and Xi Jinping will hold the first-ever trilateral meeting of the leaders of the United States, Russia and China on November 19 in China, the New York Post reports, citing the White House.

The negotiations will take place in Shenzhen on the sidelines of the APEC summit. The main issue will be a possible agreement to reduce the nuclear weapons of the three countries. The leaders may also discuss war in Iran and North Korea.

"We do not expect to reach agreements. I would call it a starting point, a first conversation," said a US administration official.

At the same time, there are no plans to discuss the war in Ukraine at the tripartite summit. The White House explained that China does not participate in the relevant negotiation process between Moscow and Washington.

A separate bilateral meeting between Trump and Putin is also not planned.

We will recall that the last time the presidents of the United States and Russia met in person was in August in Alaska, where they discussed settling the war in Ukraine.
