Trump, Xi, and Putin May Meet at APEC 2026 Summit Amid Format Disputes
US President Donald Trump, Chinese President Xi Jinping, and Russian President Vladimir Putin may hold a historic trilateral meeting during the APEC 2026 summit in Shenzhen on November 18-19. While Trump and Moscow indicate preparations are underway, China has only confirmed ongoing talks without formally committing. Disagreements over the meeting's format and unresolved details, including Putin's attendance, could result in separate bilateral meetings instead of a joint gathering. The summit will host leaders from 21 economies under the theme "Building an Asia-Pacific Community to Prosper Together."
