Plans are underway for a historic first-ever meeting between the leaders of Russia, the United States, and China. Kremlin aide Yuri Ushakov announced that officials are preparing for the trilateral summit involving Russian President Vladimir Putin, U.S. President Donald Trump, and Chinese leader Xi Jinping. The Kremlin hopes to schedule this high-level gathering as part of the upcoming Asia-Pacific summit in Shenzhen next month.

Context

Major global powers often use regional economic and diplomatic summits as neutral ground to hold separate or joint talks on international issues. Bringing the leaders of these three influential nations together would mark a significant moment in modern diplomacy, given the complex and often tense relations between Washington, Moscow, and Beijing.

What Happened

Preparations are underway for a historic first-ever trilateral meeting involving Russian President Vladimir Putin, U.S. President Donald Trump, and Chinese leader Xi Jinping during the upcoming Asia-Pacific summit in Shenzhen.
