Trump says he likely will meet Xi and Putin at APEC in Shenzhen; Beijing says it is "in communication"
Trump told reporters Sunday that one of his meetings at the Nov. 18-19 APEC summit in Shenzhen, China, will likely be with Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping, saying talks include denuclearization and efforts to end the Iran war. China's foreign ministry said it is "in communication with relevant parties" about a three-leader meeting, but nothing is set. AP notes that if it happens the gathering would be historic.
