Trump intends to discuss reducing the nuclear arsenal with Putin and Xi Jinping on Thursday: The White House said the trilateral meeting is not expected to discuss the Ukrainian issue.
"Donald Trump plans to meet in China next week with Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping on the sidelines of the APEC summit in Shenzhen. According to the White House, the main topic of the first such trilateral meeting will be nuclear disarmament. Trump also intends to raise the issue of the war between the US and Israel against Iran.
The Trump administration does not expect any agreement to be reached as a result of the negotiations. One US official called the nuclear issue difficult for Beijing, but said it was time for China to join the "adult conversation" on strategic security. Trump is not expected to meet separately with Putin to discuss Ukraine, as Beijing is not on that negotiating track. Elon Musk will travel with the US president to China."
