President Donald Trump said he expects to meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin, as Fox News radio reported Monday that Chinese officials have discussed a potential trilateral summit.
“One of the meetings I think will be with President Putin and President Xi,” Trump said in the “60 Minutes” interview. “We’ll talk a lot of things, including denuclearization.”
Trump did not specify a date or location for the potential meeting. Fox News radio reported the talks could take place around an upcoming Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit, though the report did not confirm specific dates.
It was not clear from Monday’s broadcast whether the Kremlin has agreed to take part in a trilateral meeting. Fox News radio did not name the Chinese officials involved in the reported discussions.
Trump has pursued direct talks with both leaders this year on topics including the war in Ukraine and Iran’s nuclear program. Additional details on the proposed summit were not available as of Monday.
