Trump: Likely meeting with Putin and Xi

In recent weeks, information has come from both Russia and China that a tripartite meeting between the countries' presidents is being prepared.

Similar tones are now coming from Donald Trump.

- I am going to China, and one of the meetings will, I think, be held with President Putin and President Xi, he says to reporters.

The supposed talks will be held in conjunction with the Pacific Cooperation Apec meeting on November 18-19, in Shenzhen, China.

Details: Putin wanted meeting about Ukraine

The newspaper The Wall Street Journal recently reported, based on source information, that Russian President Vladimir Putin specifically wanted a tripartite meeting in the hope of achieving a - for Russia - favorable peace settlement in the Ukraine war.

Donald Trump mentions in advance, explicitly, the Iran war and nuclear disarmament as possible talking points.

As early as Monday, the American president will meet Qatari Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin al-Thani, who served as a mediator in the Iran war, Reuters reports.
