Kremlin: Putin and Trump Are Interested in Taking Part in APEC Summit in China in November

Trump plans to have a phone conversation with Vladimir Putin "very soon." The previous phone call between the Russian and US presidents took place on September 8. Previously, Ushakov did not rule out a personal meeting between Putin and Trump at the APEC summit in China, which will take place on November 18-19. He also allowed for the possibility of a trilateral meeting with the participation of Chinese President Xi Jinping.

The Kremlin said the idea of ​​holding a trilateral meeting between Vladimir Putin, Donald Trump and Xi Jinping on the sidelines of the APEC summit in China in November was "interesting", but so far no practical steps have been taken to hold such a meeting.

The idea of ​​a trilateral meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin, US President Donald Trump, and Chinese President Xi Jinping at the APEC summit in China is "very interesting," but has not yet been discussed by the parties. This was stated by Russian presidential aide Yuri Ushakov to reporters, as reported by an RBC correspondent. "The idea is in the air. Everyone knows about it, especially journalists, we know about it too, but no one has yet worked on the practical development of this meeting," Ushakov said. According to him, the Chinese side, as the summit's organizer, should send the participants a draft program, which could include opportunities for individual meetings. "This program will obviously include special windows for bilateral meetings and, possibly, for trilateral meetings, but there have been no practical discussions on this matter yet. But I confirm that this is a very interesting idea," the presidential aide said.

URGENT Initiative for a meeting of the heads of Russia, China, and the United States outside Beijing if Trump attends the summit - Ushakov

Trump has not yet confirmed his participation in the APEC summit in China. Accordingly, the much-talked-about trilateral Russia-China-US meeting is in question. "There has not yet been a practical discussion of this topic, but I confirm that it is a very interesting idea," said presidential aide Yuri Ushakov. "It is in the air, everyone knows it: Trump, Putin, and Xi." Partly, it all comes down to the fact that Trump has not yet 100% confirmed his participation in the summit. However, an agreement on a bilateral meeting between the leaders of Russia and China already exists. Subscribe to Yunashev LIVE in MAX And if you like longer analytical texts, you should go to Zen

Kremlin Says Trilateral Meeting of Putin, Trump and Xi at APEC Summit in China in November is an Interesting Idea

Will a trilateral meeting between the U.S., China, and Russia take place at next month's APEC in China? "Agenda setting is key" (Roundup)

Will a ‘Trilateral Meeting’ Between Trump, Xi Jinping, and Putin Be Held Next Month? China Says “Willingness to Cooperate,” While the U.S. Rejects Negative Views.

Will a trilateral meeting between the U.S., China, and Russia take place at next month's APEC in China? "Setting the agenda is key"

Putin says trilateral meeting between the leaders of China, the US, and Russia may be held during the APEC summit; China responds.

What Dmitriev and Reshetnikov did in the US Russian Presidential Envoy Kirill Dmitriev and Minister of Economic Development Maxim Reshetnikov visited the US one after another. Their visits add to a string of Russian top officials attending G20 meetings amid the "diesel crisis" in the US and Donald Trump's desire to contain it. At the same time, there are no direct contacts with the US regarding the lifting of sanctions, economic cooperation, or other substantive discussions, Reshetnikov said. He called this "an attempt, perhaps, to find new rules." The US continues to use "carrot and stick" in its contacts with Russia, based on the assumption that its economic bloc can influence its political bloc, notes Vladimir Vasiliev, Chief Researcher at ISKRAN. But the bulk of the preferences and rapprochement between Russia and the United States will only be implemented after de-escalation, which Trump hopes will occur by December 2026 – the G20 summit to which Putin has been invited.
