President Donald Trump said on Sunday he thinks he will meet Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin at an APEC leaders' summit in China next week. He said the talks would cover ending the war in Iran and denuclearization.
Trump told reporters before flying back to Washington from Florida that he will travel to China for the summit, set for November 18-19 in the tech hub of Shenzhen. According to Reuters, Trump said: "We’re trying to end the war in Iran."
Arms control and Ukraine on the agenda
Trump said in October that he was open to three-way arms control talks with Xi and Putin, which he said would focus on denuclearization.
The Wall Street Journal later reported that Putin has pitched using a trilateral meeting to discuss an end to Russia's war in Ukraine.
Trump has also spoken about Ukraine. In an interview with CBS' 60 Minutes program, he said he believes the sides are very close to making a deal that would result in a somewhat different shape for Ukraine, without offering specifics.
