US, Russian and Chinese officials are discussing a possible trilateral summit between Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping later this month when the leaders attend the APEC summit in Shenzhen, the Financial Times reported on Tuesday, citing people familiar with the situation.
The report, which Reuters could not immediately verify, did not provide further details on the agenda or the likelihood of such a meeting.
The three leaders are expected to be in Shenzhen for the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit, which is scheduled to take place later this month. China holds the rotating presidency of APEC this year.
Any trilateral meeting between the US, Russian and Chinese leaders would be a significant diplomatic event, given the tensions between the countries over issues including the war in Ukraine, trade disputes and regional security concerns.
The Financial Times report did not specify which officials were involved in the discussions or the venue for the potential summit.
