Trump wants to discuss nuclear disarmament. However, a senior U.S. government official characterized the talks as "initial talks" and said they did not expect any agreement on nuclear disarmament to be reached.

The talks will discuss the military campaign launched by the United States against Iran, but will not address Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

Trump will also hold his third meeting with Xi this year on the 19th. The committee is not expected to discuss the suspicion that Huang, the former CEO of US semiconductor giant Nvidia, had an affair with a Chinese intelligence agent. No individual talks with Putin are planned, a senior U.S. official said.
