Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping will hold the first ever three-way meeting between the leaders of the United States, Russia and China at a summit in Shenzhen next week, the White House said.

Trump wants to talk about reducing nuclear arsenals at the trilateral talks on Thursday and is also set to bring up his conflict in Iran – but he is not expected to discuss Russia’s war in Ukraine, US officials said.
