The White House says the United States, China and Russia will hold their first-ever official summit meeting on November 19.

US President Donald Trump, Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin are set to meet on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum in Shenzhen, China.

The White House said on Friday that the leaders will discuss reducing the number of nuclear weapons in the world.

A US government official said no agreement is expected, but the meeting will be a starting point for how to proceed.

According to the official, Trump is expected to discuss the situation in Iran during the trilateral summit, but not the situation in Ukraine.

The official also said there are no plans for a summit between Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un during the president's visit to Asia.

Trump has in the past expressed an interest in holding such a meeting.
