Not established

The Kremlin confirmed the exchange of agenda proposals for a Putin-Trump-Xi trilateral summit in China.
Washington, Beijing, and Moscow are deadlocked over the format of a proposed trilateral leaders' meeting ahead of APEC, with Beijing insisting on scripted statements and excluding nuclear arms control. The US seeks a more substantive exchange. Talks are reportedly underway to establish commitments on AI control over nuclear arsenals, potentially announced at APEC. Ukraine and North Korean denuclearization are reportedly demoted on the agenda, with a shift towards AI's role in command and control.
The exact date, location (beyond 'China' or 'Shenzhen'), and confirmed agenda items for the summit remain unconfirmed. The level of commitment to AI nuclear control and the final status of Ukraine and North Korea on the agenda are also uncertain.

Assessment

model confidence: under Technical details

Read the full assessment

Proposals for a Putin-Trump-Xi trilateral summit agenda are being exchanged, with the meeting potentially occurring on the sidelines of the APEC summit in China. However, significant disagreements persist regarding the summit's format and agenda, particularly Beijing's preference for scripted statements and the exclusion of nuclear arms control, contrasting with US desires for substantive exchange. Confidence in a substantive outcome remains medium-low due to these ongoing disputes.
