US President Donald Trump will meet Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping in a trilateral meeting next Thursday, the White House announced on Saturday.
White House spokeswoman Olivia Wells said the scheduled talks would be held on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit in Shenzhen, China.
She told reporters the key topics on would include global nuclear arms reduction, describing nuclear proliferation as a serious threat.
According to local media reports citing a senior US official, the three leaders are also expected to discuss Iran.
But the official suggested that Ukraine conflict is unlikely to feature in the talks, with Washington pursuing a separate diplomatic track with Kyiv and Moscow not involving China.Â
