The White House has announced that a trilateral meeting between the leaders of the United States, Russia, and China will be held next Thursday on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit in Shenzhen, China.
According to American officials, President Donald Trump will raise the issue of reducing nuclear arsenals at the meeting, but Washington does not expect an agreement on this issue at the end of the negotiations.
Previously, Yuri Ushakov, an aide to the Russian president, had announced plans for a meeting between Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump on the sidelines of the ICE summit. Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov also said that preparations were underway for a trilateral meeting between Putin, Trump, and Chinese President Xi Jinping.
