The trilateral summit involving Trump, Putin, and Xi marks a return to the “Big Three” format
political scientist, expert of the “United Ukraine”
Two things about a possible meeting Trump, Putin and Xi Jinping It’s worth noting right away. First: there isn’t one yet. There is Putin’s proposal, made during a phone call with Trump on October 9; there is a date and location proposed by the Kremlin—the APEC summit in Shenzhen on November 18–19—and there is a lack of agreement from Washington. Marco Rubio in Uzbekistan confirmed…that “there had been talk of a meeting,” but he doesn’t know if it has been confirmed. Peskov He speaks of a “hypothetical possibility” with no agenda. Beijing has made it clear that it won’t object if Trump wants this. The second point is more important than the first: for Moscow, the meeting itself is the result. Everything Putin wants from this format, he gets the moment the three sit down at the same table—even before anyone utters the word “Ukraine.”
