President Trump travels Monday to Manila for a four-day Asia trip including the ASEAN summit, a Quad meeting and a trade deal signing with Thailand, then flies to Shenzhen, China, for APEC, a meeting with Xi Jinping and the first three-way meeting with Xi and Vladimir Putin, the Washington Examiner reported. A senior official said Trump "does intend to talk about Iran" at the trilateral but not Ukraine, does not expect to raise the Alice Huang allegations with Xi, and that officials "do not expect to... get to any kind of agreement" on nuclear arms next week. Officials said Elon Musk will accompany the President to Shenzhen and that no meeting with Kim Jong Un is planned.
