Trump Announces Potential Meetings With Putin And Xi Jinping Amid Rising Tensions With Zelenskyy
U.S. President Donald Trump stated he would meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping to discuss ending the Ukraine war, despite rising tensions with Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelenskyy. The potential trilateral meeting was reportedly proposed by Putin during a recent phone call and could occur at an Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in Shenzhen on November 18-19. Zelenskyy has criticized Trump's decision to waive new sanctions against Russia, as well as the degradation of Starlink and Starshield services from SpaceX. He also claimed U.S. intelligence sharing had been disrupted without explanation. In response, Trump dismissed Zelenskyy’s criticism and suggested that Ukraine should consider a different negotiator. Trump denied knowledge about any intentional disruption to satellite services but expressed interest in investigating the matter further.
