Ushakov estimated the likelihood of a meeting between Putin and trump at the APEC summit in China

The study of a possible meeting of the presidents of Russia and the United States — Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump — at the summit of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) has not yet begun. About it the assistant to the President of Russia Yuri Ushakov told “Vesti”.

“Obviously, there will be our participation [in the summit],” Yuri Ushakov said. If Donald Trump attends the event, Chinese President Xi Jinping “will probably take some steps on a possible organization and trilateral meeting,” he added.

The summit will be held on November 18-19 in Shenzhen, China. Donald Trump accepted Xi Jinping's invitation to come to the event. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov allowed a trilateral meeting of the leaders of the states at the APEC summit. He confirmed the agreement to meet Vladimir Putin with Xi Jinping in China, but noted that there are no decisions on possible bilateral or trilateral negotiations with the participation of Donald Trump.
