Trump Claims Trilateral Denuclearization Talks Amid APEC Summit Speculation
Former President Trump claims to be engaged in denuclearization discussions with Russia and China, a significant shift from prior policy. Concurrently, Russian and Chinese officials have discussed a potential trilateral leaders' meeting involving Trump, Putin, and Xi at the upcoming APEC summit. While the trilateral meeting and denuclearization talks remain unconfirmed and lack detail, the convergence of these claims suggests a potential, albeit uncertain, shift in great-power arms control and diplomatic engagement.
