Trump, Putin and Xi Jinping expected to meet in first-ever trilateral of its kind, officials say
President Trump, Russian President Vladimir Putin and China's President Xi Jinping will hold the first three-way meeting among the three leaders at a summit in China next week, the White House said Friday. White House spokeswoman Olivia Wales told reporters that the three leaders will meet on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in the southern Chinese city. Mr. Trump wants to talk about reducing nuclear arsenals at the trilateral talks on Thursday and is also set to bring up his war in Iran, but is not expected to discuss Russia's war in Ukraine. A senior U.S. official speaking anonymously added that Washington has a separate track of negotiations regarding Ukraine. Tesla and SpaceX boss Elon Musk will accompany Trump on the trip but will not be involved in the meeting with Xi and Putin.
