US President Donald Trump said he expects to meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin during the upcoming APEC summit, scheduled for November 18-19 in Shenzhen, China.
Trump indicated that among the
topics they could discuss are denuclearization and efforts to end the Iran war.
In his remarks on the conflict,
the US president has also asserted that the Iranian economy is in a severe
crisis, citing inflation of around 300% and claiming that the Tehran government
is not paying its soldiers.
For now, Trump has expressed his
hope for the meeting, but the details and agenda of a potential meeting between
the three leaders are still being finalized.
