Trump, Xi, and Putin to hold trilateral talks on Iran and nuclear arms in Shenzhen

The presidents of the United States, China and Russia are set to hold trilateral talks next week. Donald Trump, Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin are due to meet on Thursday in the Chinese city of Shenzhen, on the sidelines of the APEC summit. The meeting could bring the leaders of three of the world’s biggest nuclear powers to the same table. They are expected to discuss the war with Iran and a possible agreement on nuclear arms. Al Jazeera’s Matthew Torres says it will be the first time all three leaders are in one room for trilateral talks. The White House and the Kremlin have confirmed the meeting. Torres says the US wants to start talks on a broader nuclear arms agreement, after a 2010 treaty capping warheads expired in February. Putin has suggested extending it, but Trump wants a deal that includes China. It is unclear whether Xi wants to join. Torres says the talks are not guaranteed to lead to a diplomatic breakthrough. According to the White House, Trump is not expected to raise the war in Ukraine. Al Jazeera’s Matthew Torres reports from Washington, DC.
