President Donald Trump will meet with the leaders of China and Russia next week to discuss possible reductions in the three countries’ nuclear arsenals, the White House confirmed Friday.
A senior administration briefing reporters on the planned meeting said Trump, China’s president Xi Jinping and the Russian president Vladimir Putin will discuss the reduction of nuclear stockpiles.
It will be the first time that the three leaders of the countries with the world’s largest stockpiles of nuclear weapons will meet to discuss non-proliferation issues.
“This is hopefully the start of a conversation that can be productive in the future,” the official said, cautioning that the United States does not expect any reduction agreement at the end of the negotiations.
