The talks are expected to cover nuclear arms reduction and Iran, while the Ukraine war is not on the trilateral agenda. U.S. officials do not expect the Nvidia-related case to be raised.
The White House confirmed U.S. President Trump, Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Putin will hold their first trilateral talks in Shenzhen Thursday, Nov. 19, with nuclear arms and Iran on the agenda.
White House spokesperson Olivia Wales said Trump considers nuclear proliferation a serious danger. The Ukraine war is not on the agenda; Washington is handling it through a separate negotiating track that excludes China.
Trump will also hold a working lunch and bilateral meeting with Xi that day. It will be their fourth meeting since Trump returned to the White House. Economic talks are expected to focus on implementing the trade agreement, and no separate meeting with Putin is planned.
U.S. officials do not expect the Nvidia-related case to be raised. Washington will not negotiate export controls with China, which it treats as a national-security matter.
Trump is scheduled to leave Washington Monday, visit the Philippines Tuesday for a summit of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) and then continue to Shenzhen.
