US President Donald Trump says he is open to a trilateral meeting with Chinese leader Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin, saying talks could focus on denuclearization and broader issues including trade. Trump made the remarks after reports that China is interested in hosting such a gathering. Reuters reports the meeting could take place on the sidelines of next month’s APEC Summit in Shenzhen, China. Putin is also expected to push for discussions on a settlement to the war in Ukraine. While a potential nuclear arms control agreement could ease global tensions, a three-way summit could raise concerns among US allies in Asia and Europe.
