The leaders of the United States, China and Russia are expected to meet Thursday on the sidelines of next week’s Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in China’s tech hub of Shenzhen.
The White House said on Friday that US President Donald Trump will raise nuclear-arms reduction at the meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping.
"He will discuss the reduction of nuclear weapons in the world, whose proliferation President Trump believes is very dangerous," Olivia Wales, a White House spokeswoman, said on a call with reporters, according to Reuters.
She added that the meeting would take place on Thursday in China.
Trump is leaving on Monday for a four-day trip to Asia that also includes a stop in the Philippines.
No agreement was expected to follow the talks, an unnamed senior US official said, according to news agencies AP and Reuters.
