Donald Trump to Discuss Nuclear Arms Reduction With Putin and Xi in China

U.S. President Donald Trump is scheduled to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum in Shenzhen on November 19, 2026. The White House confirmed that President Trump intends to press for <b>nuclear-arms reductions</b> during these discussions, citing the dangers of global proliferation. While the U.S. administration seeks to address these stockpiles, China has reportedly rebuffed previous attempts to engage in nuclear arms talks. A senior official stated that the administration does not expect to reach a formal agreement during this <b>trilateral meeting</b>, which coincides with the President's four-day diplomatic trip to Asia.
