White House confirms Trump, Xi and Putin will meet in China with Iran on the agenda

Donald Trump will meet Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin next week on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in Shenzhen, the White House says.

White House spokeswoman Olivia Wales told reporters about the meeting, according to the Japan Times. It reports that Mr Trump wants to discuss reducing nuclear arsenals and is also set to raise Iran. The White House confirmed to the Jerusalem Post that Iran and nuclear arms are on the agenda.

Senior US officials told ABC News that Mr Trump does not intend to discuss Russia's war with Ukraine at the meeting.

Al Jazeera and others describe it as the first time the three leaders will meet together. That claim has not been independently checked.

No date has been given beyond next week. No confirmation from China or Russia has been reported.
