Kremlin: Nuclear arsenals off agenda for Putin-Trump-Xi talks
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov stated that nuclear arsenals are unlikely to be discussed in upcoming Putin-Trump-Xi talks, citing China's view that its nuclear capabilities are not comparable to Russia's and the US's. This signals a potential limitation on arms control dialogue among the three powers, though the statement is preliminary and subject to change.

Potential US-China-Russia Trilateral Diplomacy at APEC Summit
Chinese and Russian foreign ministers met in Baku, reaffirming bilateral cooperation and discussing global issues, laying groundwork for a potential trilateral meeting between Presidents Trump, Xi, and Putin at the upcoming APEC summit in Shenzhen. While the Kremlin has expressed hope for a Putin-Trump meeting and acknowledged the possibility of a trilateral, no formal agreement exists, and the scope of potential discussions, particularly regarding nuclear arms control, remains uncertain. This signals a potential shift towards multi-polar diplomatic engagement, though confidence in the trilateral's realization and agenda is medium-low.
