White House: Trump to meet with Xi and Putin in Shenzhen

President Trump will travel to Shenzhen, China, for the APEC summit to discuss nuclear non-proliferation and the situation in Iran with Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin. The American administration will avoid discussing the Nvidia espionage investigation during the talks, while Beijing continues to reject accusations of spying.

President Donald Trump is set to meet with leaders Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin during the APEC summit in Shenzhen, China. A White House spokesperson confirmed that the American president intends to prioritize discussions regarding global nuclear weapon reduction and the ongoing geopolitical situation in Iran. Despite the high-profile attendance, officials indicated there are no current plans for a private meeting between Trump and Putin, although the president will participate in a working lunch with the Chinese leader.

The delegation accompanying Trump will remain relatively small, though Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk is expected to travel with him. Meanwhile, the administration has clarified that it will not discuss the sensitive investigation involving former Nvidia executive Jensen Huang and alleged espionage activity with Chinese counterparts. Beijing has firmly denied the espionage claims, arguing that such allegations are merely a pretext for the United States to impose a technological blockade against China amid broader market volatility regarding Nvidia shares.
