The White House has confirmed that US President Donald Trump, Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin will meet in the Chinese city of Shenzhen.
Earlier, the New York Post reported that the three leaders were expected to meet in Shenzhen on Thursday, with discussions likely to cover nuclear arms control, North Korea, Ukraine and Iran.
The report compared the proposed meeting of the three world leaders to the 1945 Yalta Conference, held after World War II, where US President Franklin D. Roosevelt, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill and Soviet leader Joseph Stalin agreed on Europe’s post-war borders and political arrangements.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has also expressed concerns over the proposed meeting, comparing it to the Yalta Conference.
He warned that the Shenzhen meeting could result in an agreement to redraw global spheres of influence for the 21st century.
