The White House announced that a meeting between Trump, Putin and Xi will take place on November 19 in China. They will discuss nuclear weapons, but not the war in Ukraine.
Donald Trump's meeting with Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping will take place next week on the sidelines of the APEC summit in China, the White House said. This will be the first ever trilateral meeting between the leaders of the United States, Russia and China.
The press secretary of the White House, Olivia Wales, clarified that the meeting of the leaders is planned for November 19 (the summit will be held on November 18-19). According to her, Trump will discuss the reduction of nuclear weapons with Putin and Xi. "President Trump sees [nuclear weapons] proliferation as extremely dangerous," Wales added.
Moscow and Beijing have not yet confirmed the approval of the meeting.
A senior Trump administration official told Reuters that the US president does not intend to raise the issue of the Russian-Ukrainian war. His one-on-one meeting with Putin is also not planned.
