US President Donald Trump expects to meet Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit in China on November 18-19. The proposed talks would cover the Iran war, denuclearisation and potentially the Ukraine conflict. Trump said in October that he was open to three-way arms control talks with Xi and Putin, which he said would focus on denuclearisation. The Wall Street Journal later reported that Putin has pitched using a trilateral meeting to discuss an end to Russia's long-running war in Ukraine.
Top officials from Washington and Beijing held 'frank' talks on their countries' testy trade relationship on Friday, ahead of an Asia-Pacific summit in China this month where their leaders are due to meet.
