Wall Street Journal: America and China are divided over the proposed meeting between Trump, Xi and Putin on November 18 and 19 (November 27 and 28).
Beijing wants a meeting whose details are precisely predetermined - with ready-made statements and predetermined outcomes - while Washington seeks open talks, particularly on nuclear arms control.
China opposes trilateral nuclear talks because it fears that these talks will consolidate its inferior nuclear position vis-à-vis the United States and Russia.
This disagreement made the holding of this meeting doubtful.
