SEOUL, November 14 (AJP) -U.S. President Donald Trump will meet Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin next Thursday in an unprecedented three-way summit in Shenzhen, China, bringing together the leaders of the world's three largest nuclear powers amid mounting geopolitical tensions, the White House confirmed Friday.
The talks, scheduled on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit in the Chinese city of Shenzhen on Wednesday and Thursday, are expected to focus on nuclear arms control, with the wars in Ukraine and Iran looming over the gathering. Trump has sought a trilateral nuclear agreement following the expiration of the last U.S.-Russia arms control treaty in February, while Putin has pressed for negotiations over Ukraine's future.
