Trump Expresses Intent to Hold Talks with Putin and Xi Jinping on Nuclear Arms Control
U.S. President Donald Trump wants to hold a trilateral meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping to discuss non-proliferation and global nuclear disarmament. President Trump favors hosting the meeting on the sidelines of the upcoming Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio confirmed this information during a local press conference.
Speaking at the press conference, Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated, “President Trump wants this meeting to take place if possible, and we believe it is achievable. The President considers the current status of global nuclear weapons to be a critical topic for discussion, as he views unchecked nuclear proliferation as extremely dangerous.” Meanwhile, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov stated earlier this week that Washington, Moscow, and Beijing are currently exchanging views on the proposed agenda for the trilateral summit.
