What happened
- The White House confirmed Friday that President Donald Trump plans to meet jointly with China’s Xi Jinping and Russia’s Vladimir Putin next Thursday in Shenzhen, China.
- The first-ever joint meeting of the three countries’ leaders will take place alongside the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit and focus on reducing nuclear weapons.
- The last U.S.-Russia nuclear arms treaty expired in February, and U.S. officials have raised concerns about China’s growing nuclear arsenal.
- U.S. officials said Trump also intends to discuss the war with Iran but does not plan to raise Russia’s war in Ukraine.
- Officials do not expect a nuclear agreement at the meeting, describing it instead as the start of a potentially longer conversation.
How the left told it
Left-leaning outlets emphasized the unprecedented nuclear talks and their planned agenda. CNN called the meeting a “historic trilateral sit-down” but highlighted officials’ warning that no agreement was expected. The New York Times stressed that Iran would be discussed while Ukraine was not expected to come up.
How the right told it
Right-leaning outlets emphasized the meeting’s historic significance and Trump’s nuclear arms-control ambitions. The New York Post and Newsmax highlighted an “ambitious nuclear arms control pact.” The Washington Times tempered expectations, citing unnamed administration officials who described the talks as an “entry point” rather than an opportunity to strike a deal.
