Donald Trump will meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping next week, the White House said, a high-stakes gathering of three geopolitical superpowers as the American president reels from election losses at home and an espionage scandal threatens to deepen tensions with China.

“China has made it very clear that it wants to expand its nuclear arsenal,” Shih said.
asserted
Shih → make → arsenal
Shih also questioned whether the gathering would deliver much political benefit for Trump after a midterm election that turned in part on voters’ frustrations over the economy.
asserted
that → question → economy
For Trump, the trilateral “is purely to score incremental political points”, Shih said.
asserted
Shih → score → points
“But of course, in the aftermath of the midterm election where voters clearly have shown that their main interest is with domestic economic issues, something like nuclear disarmament is really not going to have much effect for his support.”
asserted
something → show → support

uncertain

asserted
he → report → Beijing
