Beijing prepares three-way summit
China is in discussions with Moscow and Washington to arrange a meeting between Chinese President Xi Jinping, Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin during the APEC summit in Shenzhen on November eighteen to nineteen.
“China is in communication with relevant parties regarding a meeting between the three heads of state.”
Trump wants denuclearization, not Ukraine
Trump last month indicated interest in discussing denuclearization in a trilateral meeting, but not so much Ukraine. German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier said Xi rejected discussing Ukraine in that format.
“not so much Ukraine”
Europe fears exclusion from Ukraine talks
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy expressed concern the meeting could become a Yalta-style redistribution of influence. German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said Europe must play a role in any peaceful solution.
“I really don't want this to be a 'Yalta, 2, 3, 4,' when there is a redistribution of influence.”
The key point
China is arranging a potential meeting between Xi Jinping, Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin at an APEC summit in Shenzhen on November eighteen to nineteen.
