## Summary

The White House says Donald Trump, Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin will hold their first three-way meeting next week in Shenzhen, alongside the APEC summit. The talks come as the US and Russia have no limits on their nuclear arsenals for the first time in more than 50 years, and Trump has proposed a new agreement involving China.

The New START treaty expired in February, and Trump rejected Russia’s offer to extend it for a year. A senior US official said an agreement was not expected and described the meeting as the start of a conversation. Trump plans to discuss the Iran war, but not Ukraine; President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has voiced concern about a Ukraine deal being discussed without Kyiv.
