Russia urges early nuclear stability talks with US in possible Putin-Trump-Xi summit
Russia has called for urgent nuclear stability talks with the U.S. amid reports of a potential trilateral summit between Vladimir Putin, Donald Trump, and Xi Jinping in China. While Trump expressed openness to discussing nuclear issues, Ukraine has voiced concerns that such a meeting could undermine efforts to end the war.
Why it matters
The potential for a high-level summit between these three global powers could significantly alter the geopolitical landscape regarding nuclear arms control and the war in Ukraine.
Moscow on Tuesday called for an urgent restart of dialogue with Washington on strategic nuclear stability, with Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov warning that the world is, for the first time in history, without a legal framework to govern the area.Peskov was responding to a query on a possible three-way meeting in China next month between Russian President Vladimir Putin, US President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping. He said the complexity of the issues meant negotiations should begin at the earliest, as any such talks were bound to be prolonged.The Kremlin had earlier indicated that the three leaders could meet on the sidelines of an Asia-Pacific summit in Shenzhen next month.
