A White House media coordinator has confirmed that this special meeting will take place on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit in Shenzhen, China's tech hub, next week. It is reported that the three leaders plan to discuss the Iran war and the limitation of nuclear arsenals.

Information has also emerged that prominent businessman Elon Musk will accompany Trump on his visit to China.

Key Points
  • The historic meeting will take place on the sidelines of the APEC summit held in Shenzhen, China.
  • Trump plans to hold discussions on the Iran war and nuclear weapons.
  • Elon Musk is also scheduled to depart for China alongside the US President.

Nuclear arms pact and expectations from talks

These discussions come nine months after the 'New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty' (New START) between Washington and Moscow expired in February. Trump had rejected Russia's proposal to extend the treaty by another year, insisting instead on a modernized new agreement that includes China. It is also noted that for the first time in over 50 years, the nuclear arsenals of both nations remain completely unrestricted.

However, a senior Trump administration official stated that immediate major breakthroughs cannot be expected from the meeting, describing it merely as the beginning of a dialogue. Furthermore, media reports indicate that while Trump is prepared to raise the Iran war, he will avoid discussing the war in Ukraine.

"We do not anticipate reaching an agreement of any kind," a senior Trump administration official said.
