> Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning said Beijing is communicating with relevant parties about a possible meeting of Chinese, Russian, and U.S. leaders. It could happen during the APEC summit in Shenzhen on November 18–19. Reports say Putin proposed the idea to Trump, who has said he is willing to meet but would prefer to discuss nuclear disarmament rather than the war in Ukraine.
