“The possibility of a trilateral meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin, US leader Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping has been ruled out.”
Globalinfo.az reports that this statement was made by political scientist Georgy Bovt on the air of the “Business FM” radio station.
In his opinion, a meeting with the participation of all three leaders will not take place.
However, bilateral meetings between Trump and Putin, as well as between Putin and Xi Jinping, are possible.
The political scientist noted that the trilateral meeting format had been discussed earlier, but discussions around this issue have now subsided.
“Holding a bilateral meeting is also important, but the main question is what will be discussed there. The meeting will take place after the elections in the US. The Republicans are expected to lose the elections with high probability, and this will affect Trump’s behavior,” Bovt said.
It should be noted that earlier, Russian presidential aide Yuri Ushakov said that the Chinese side was preparing for a possible meeting of the leaders of Russia, the US and China. The possibility of holding a trilateral dialogue within the framework of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit was being discussed.
