China's Foreign Ministry officially confirmed ongoing discussions for a historic trilateral meeting between President Xi Jinping, U.S. President Donald Trump, and Russian President Vladimir Putin.
The potential summit is planned for this month in Shenzhen, China, coinciding with the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) leaders' summit.
Experts are skeptical about substantive outcomes due to the leaders' conflicting interests, suggesting the meeting may primarily serve as a high-profile photo opportunity.
Motivations for the meeting vary: Russia aims for a diplomatic coup, Trump seeks to discuss nuclear arms control, and China desires the image of a major power gathering while carefully managing engagement on contentious issues.
