President Donald Trump wants to hold a trilateral summit with Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin in China next month to discuss denuclearization rather than necessarily the war in Ukraine. Such a meeting among the leaders of the United States, China and Russia would be unprecedented.

President Trump wants to hold a trilateral summit with Chinese President Xi and Russian President Putin in China next month to discuss "denuclearization" — but not necessarily Ukraine.
**Why it matters:** Such a summit between the leaders of the U.S., China and Russia would be unprecedented.
* Trump has been talking for two years about his aspiration to reach a deal with Russia and China to reduce the number of nuclear weapons. But so far Putin and Xi haven't shown much openness to the idea.
**Driving the news:** Trump is expected to travel to China in mid-November to participate in the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) leaders' meeting in the city of Shenzhen.
* The Kremlin has been floating the idea of holding such a meeting since July. Putin raised the issue in two phone calls with Trump, including one last week.
* The Chinese government hasn't expressed willingness to hold such a summit.
**What he's saying:** When asked on Monday whether such a summit could discuss ending the war in Ukraine, Trump said he wants to hold such a trilateral meeting, but in order to discuss other issues.
* "I would do it, not so much for Ukraine, we would have it to talk about denuclearization," he said.
