Quick Summary

US President Donald Trump announced plans to potentially meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping in Shenzhen, China, during an Asia-Pacific summit on November 18-19 to discuss denuclearization and ending the Iran war. The Kremlin acknowledged preparations for this trilateral meeting earlier in October. Critics suggest that while such a meeting would be historic, it is unlikely to produce substantive agreements due to conflicting interests among the leaders.
