President Donald Trump is set to participate in an unprecedented trilateral meeting with Chinese leader Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin next week in China. The summit, which will take place on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) meeting, is expected to focus on the reduction of nuclear weapons, according to a White House spokeswoman.
While the meeting is historic, some details suggest a limited agenda. Officials indicated that Trump will not raise the issue of Nvidia spying with Xi during the summit. The idea for a three-way discussion was reportedly floated by Putin last month, with the potential to address the war in Ukraine, though this specific focus has not been confirmed for the upcoming talks.
