Trump, Putin and Xi to meet in first trilateral meeting between leaders
President Trump plans to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit in China next week, marking the first-ever trilateral meeting between the three leaders.
Trump will be in Asia for The Association of Southeast Asian Nations summit in the Philippines and the APEC summit in China.
“The President has made it clear that, among other topics, he will discuss the reduction of nuclear weapons in the world. This proliferation, President Trump believes, is very dangerous,” Olivia Wales, a White House spokesman, told reporters.
A senior U.S. official said that no agreement is expected to come of the meeting.
“I would characterize this as the entry point, the first conversation, certainly at the leader level, between these countries,” the official said, adding that it’s “hopefully a conversation that can be productive going forward.”
The official noted that Iran will also be a topic of discussion but notably said that the president does not intend to discuss Ukraine.
Trump had suggested earlier this month that he would be having a meeting with Putin and Xi, but it hadn’t been confirmed until now.
The last nuclear arms pact between the U.S. and Russia, the New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (New START), expired in February. The treaty had been extended for five years under the Biden administration and capped the number of deployed strategic warheads and deployed launchers the U.S. and Russia could have.
New START could not be extended again, so Trump would need to negotiate a new treaty.
“If it expires, it expires. We’ll do a better agreement,” Trump said in January.
