China to host first-ever trilateral meeting between Trump, Xi and Putin next week

The three leaders are scheduled to meet on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in Shenzhen on Thursday, the White House confirmed. US officials said discussions will include nuclear weapons and the war in Iran, but that the war in Ukraine is unlikely to be on the agenda. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky warned the talks could prove a Yalta-like "redistribution of spheres of influence".
