> The United States and China differ over the format and agenda for a proposed three-way leaders’ meeting with Russia on the sidelines of the November 18–19 APEC summit in China, according to The Wall Street Journal. Beijing wants prepared statements and opposes nuclear arms talks, while the Trump administration favors freer discussion. The sides have tentatively agreed to meet; China would prefer separate bilateral meetings if the summit is not scripted in advance.
