Trump Putin Xi three-way meeting talks

Word from Beijing is that a Trump-Putin-Xi sitdown is being floated, and Mao Ning says her government has been in touch with the relevant parties about it. The venue under discussion is the APEC summit in Shenzhen this month. Both Trump and Putin have let it be known they'd be available. What makes it notable is that no modern precedent exists for a three-leader gathering like this. The nearest comparison being drawn is Yalta in 1945, and the last time three leaders of that weight sat down together, borders across Europe were redrawn. Source: Bloomberg / Writer: Julie
