The leaders of the US, Russia, and China are set to hold a historic trilateral meeting in China next week, according to the White House. The meeting will take place on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit in Shenzhen.
US President Donald Trump, Russian President Vladimir Putin, and Chinese President Xi Jinping will convene for discussions that are expected to cover a range of topics, including nuclear non-proliferation.
White House spokeswoman Olivia Wales informed reporters that the meeting will occur at the end of Trump's visit to Shenzhen, which is scheduled for late next Wednesday. Trump will also attend an ASEAN summit in the Philippines on Tuesday.
The APEC summit, scheduled for November 18-19, will be attended by 21 member nations. The trilateral meeting between Trump, Xi, and Putin is unprecedented and comes at a sensitive moment for international security, following the expiration of a major nuclear arms control agreement between Washington and Moscow in February.
The meeting is set to take place about nine months after the last nuclear arms treaty between Washington and Moscow expired, leaving the world’s two countries with the largest atomic arsenals without caps for the first time in more than 50 years.
Putin told army leaders Friday that he sees a positive trend in the operations of the troop groupings, dressed in military attire.
The meeting comes after the White House announced the appointment of Stephen Miller as White House chief of staff, replacing Susie Wiles.
