US President Donald Trump is preparing for discussions with Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin at the upcoming APEC summit in China. The agenda is expected to cover critical issues such as the Iran war and nuclear disarmament. While the possibility of a historic trilateral summit is on the table, challenges and differing interests among the leaders may complicate discussions. Despite claims of a potential meeting, it remains unclear how cooperative the atmosphere will be, particularly given divergent stances on global issues.
