The US and China did not agree on the rules of the summit with Russia.
Washington and Beijing still cannot agree on the rules of the tripartite meeting between Trump, Xi Jinping and Putin on the sidelines of the APEC summit, the WSJ claims, citing sources.
Earlier, Peskov reported that Russia, China and the United States are working to arrange a summit meeting in Shenzhen on November 18-19.
According to the paper, all three countries initially expressed openness to the idea, but significant differences emerged between Beijing and Washington regarding the ground rules and agenda.
Sources say China insists on a choreographed format, where leaders will only read prepared statements with little or no discussion. The Trump administration, however, advocates a freer exchange of views.
