Trump says Shenzhen talks with Xi and Putin likely
US President Donald Trump on Sunday said he expects to meet with President Xi Jinping and Russian leader Vladimir Putin on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (Apec) summit in Shenzhen scheduled for November 18-19. "Well, I'm going to be going to China," he said, "and one of the meetings I think will be with President Putin and President Xi, and that'll be interesting."

This followed a Wall Street Journal report that Putin wanted the three-way talks to broker a peace deal to end the conflict between Russia and Ukraine. (AFP) Edited by Tony Sabine
