Story summary

United States President Donald Trump is expected to hold an unprecedented trilateral summit with Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin next week in Shenzhen, China. The meeting is scheduled to take place on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit. While Beijing initially stated it was only "in communication with relevant parties" regarding the gathering, the New York Post reported on November 13, 2026, that the meeting would occur next Thursday. The primary objectives of the historic meeting include discussing denuclearisation, an ambitious nuclear arms control pact, and methods to end the Iran war. Some reports highlight that Russia may have the most to gain from the trilateral talks, which have been dubbed a "new Yalta" by some media outlets. However, China has expressed that it prefers multilateralism and notes that its nuclear capabilities are not at the same level as those of the United States and Russia.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.
