Trump Hopes To Meet Xi And Putin At APEC Summit In China

(MENAFN- UkrinForm) According to Ukrinform, this was reported by Reuters.

Speaking to reporters before departing Florida for Washington, Trump said he would travel to China for the APEC summit, scheduled for November 18–19 in Shenzhen, one of the country's largest technology hubs.

" One of the meetings, I think, will be with President Putin and President Xi, and that'll be interesting. We're talking a lot of things, including denuclearization, but we'll be talking a lot of things. We're trying to end the war ⁠in Iran," the U.S. President said.

In October, Trump said he was open to trilateral talks with Xi and Putin on arms control, which, according to him, should focus on denuclearization.

The Wall Street Journal subsequently reported that Putin had proposed using such a meeting to discuss ending Russia's war against Ukraine.

In a recent interview with CBS's 60 Minutes, Trump also said that, in his view, the parties were "very close to making a deal" to end the Russia-Ukraine war.
