Donald Trump will participate in the first-ever trilateral meeting between the leaders of the U.S., China and Russia on the sidelines at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Summit in China next week, senior U.S. officials told reporters Friday evening.

Trump is expected to discuss Iran with Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin, the officials said, but he does not intend to discuss Russia’s war with Ukraine during the trilateral meeting.

Denuclearization will be the focus of the long-awaited trilateral meeting, though officials do not anticipate the leaders reaching any concrete agreement and are characterizing this meeting as an initial conversation broaching the subject.

      He likes to think of himself as equal to them, after decades of looking up to them.

      But he is no dictator and apparently still subject to votes. Real and impostor dictators know that alike, and thus he will be subjected to the other two.

    Donnie must be creaming his pants, meeting his two biggest idols at once.

    Do we know the exact time & location? Too good a chance to miss.

    Donald Trump is a total loser, USA is now dancing to the tune of China. Trump behaves like China already is the #1 global power.
    Trump has no honor or integrity, which is probably why he can’t see how this is a bad look for USA.

    USA has become the laughing stock of the world, failing in every way possible. Failing against Russia, failing the Iran war, failing with tariffs, failing with their economy, losing allies and losing their global political power.

    If the goal of Trump is to destroy USA, he couldn’t be doing a better job.

      Trump’s goal is whatever benefits Trump at the time in his opinion. That’s it. The path of destruction he leaves is just his niche of specialty.

      Oh, there are plenty of people in both Russia and China who would be happy to do the job.
