Suryaa International Desk: US President Donald Trump announced the possibility of holding a meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin during the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit in Shenzhen, China. Speaking to reporters, Trump indicated that these trilateral discussions are expected to take place during the international summit scheduled for November 18 and 19.
Trump stated that his primary objective is to end the Iran conflict, alongside discussions on other international issues such as denuclearization. The Iran crisis in West Asia has impacted international fuel prices and financial markets, increasing the significance of coordination between the leaders of these major powers. Given that Russia and China maintain diplomatic relations with Iran, the meeting is viewed as a potential turning point for a ceasefire.
The Kremlin has confirmed that preparations for this trilateral meeting are underway, and the Chinese Foreign Ministry has announced that it is in consultation with relevant parties. Analysts suggest that the meeting between the three leaders may also cover the Ukraine crisis, international sanctions, and trade regulations. Observers note that the United States intends to use the summit as a platform to address geopolitical tensions and promote global stability.
