The historic trilateral meeting between the presidents of the United States, Russia and China — Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping, respectively — will take place on November 19 within the framework of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Forum (APEC), according to Moscow. "An agreement has been reached to hold, on the 19th, a trilateral meeting between Presidents Putin, Xi and Trump. That meeting will take place in Shenzhen within the framework of the APEC summit," said Russian presidential spokesman Dmitri Peskov to the Interfax agency. In that regard, the Kremlin had previously announced that the parties were working on the agenda for that meeting without yet revealing the date it would be held. The Russian confirmation of the meeting came after the White House announcement last Friday. Therefore, only the confirmation from the Asian giant of the meeting remains, whose objective is "nuclear arms reduction." White House spokeswoman Olivia Wales declared last Friday that "President Trump will conclude his visit to China with a trilateral meeting between the President of the United States, the President of the People's Republic of China and the President of the Russian Federation."

"The President has made clear that, among other topics, he will talk about the reduction of nuclear weapons in the world, whose proliferation President Trump considers very dangerous," said the spokeswoman. Likewise, Iran is also expected to be one of the topics to be addressed at the meeting of the world's largest nuclear powers. This year's edition of APEC will take place in the city of Shenzhen, in southern China, on November 18 and 19, in a gathering that will bring together the 21 APEC member states.
