Washington expects no deal with Xi Jinping and Poutine on Thursday

The White House has announced that Donald Trump will meet Vladimir Poutine and Xi Jinping on Thursday, at the end of his trip to China, on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in Shenzhen. Nuclear disarmament and Iran will be on the agenda, but not the war in Ukraine; a US official, however, expects no agreement, according to Seneweb.

A US official, speaking on condition of anonymity during a call with the press, places the trilateral meeting at the end of Donald Trump’s trip to China next week.

Donald Trump had already announced on 10 November a meeting with Xi Jinping and Vladimir Poutine in China. That same day, Beijing and Washington disagreed over nuclear issues, while Donald Trump is due to raise this issue at the meeting.
