Trump, Putin and Xi weigh first trilateral meeting at APEC in Shenzhen

Kremlin says US, Russian and Chinese officials are negotiating a three-way summit on the sidelines of the Nov 18-19 APEC summit, though Beijing has not committed.

What to know

  • US, Russian and Chinese officials are in serious talks to arrange a first trilateral Trump-Putin-Xi meeting at the APEC summit in Shenzhen on Nov 18-19.
  • China has only publicly confirmed contacts over a separate Xi-Putin meeting and has not committed to the three-way format; it's unclear whether talks are trilateral or two parallel bilateral tracks.
  • The idea reportedly originated with Putin, seen by some as an effort to leverage warming Trump-Russia ties amid the Ukraine war.
  • The White House has not commented on the report or on whether Trump would attend; Moscow says it hopes arrangements will be finalized within days.

“One person familiar with the talks said Washington and Moscow were pressing China to agree to a meeting.”
