The American President will be happy to spend time with the Leaders of the two countries that ARE causing him pain in supporting Iran against him along with Russia, against the Ukraine….
Only Donald Trump….
Other Asian country leaders will be China for a meeting that Putin will actually be welcomed at…
The leaders of the United States, China and Russia plan to meet Thursday on the sidelines of next week’s Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in China’s tech hub of Shenzhen — an unprecedented gathering of the heads of the world’s biggest nuclear powers.
While the leaders gathering for joint talks will mark a singular moment, analysts say expectations are low that the talks will lead to major breakthroughs and say they will be heavier in symbolism than substance.
Plans for the three-way summit with Donald Trump, Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin were confirmed by the White House on Friday and the Kremlin on Saturday. It comes at a complicated moment in relations between the three countries.
Trump has warmly embraced Xi after coming to a truce in their short-lived trade war last year and in spite of differences over the U.S. war with Iran and other tensions between the world’s foremost economic powers.
Similarly, Trump has sought to build his relationship with Putin, even as the Russian leader has persisted in his nearly 5-year-old war with Ukraine and as Moscow has deepened its military, intelligence and diplomatic partnership with Iran.
The U.S. president has insisted that such a meeting would provide an opportunity for the three leaders to discuss the U.S. war with Iran and his goal of reaching a three-way agreement on their nuclear arms stockpiles.
Trump does plan on discussing the Iran war with Xi and Putin, but will steer away from discussing Ukraine, according to a senior U.S. official who briefed reporters on the condition of anonymity…..
Note….
Trump is sure to relish hanging with the Big Guys of the Nuclear Weapons Countries Club….
