Xi expected to host Trump and Putin at Shenzhen APEC summit
Possible meeting on sidelines of Shenzhen APEC summit could address Ukraine war, Iran war and trade
Chinese President Xi Jinping is expected to host US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin in a rare trilateral meeting on the sidelines of the APEC summit in Shenzhen this month. The meeting, which would be historic but potentially unnerving for Washington's allies, was proposed by Putin and Trump has expressed openness, leaving Xi to decide. China's foreign ministry has confirmed discussions are under way, and a Chinese scholar advising the ministry described it as 'very likely to happen.'
