Trump announces discussion of Ukraine and denuclearisation with Russian and Chinese leaders

Ukraine issue to be on the agenda of meetings

US President Donald Trump confirmed that Ukraine would be one of the topics for discussion during the talks with the leaders of Russia and China scheduled for November. In his view, the discussion would not be limited to the situation in Ukraine alone.

“I can’t say, because it will not just be about that. The issue of denuclearisation will also be discussed. So it’s not just Ukraine,” the American leader emphasised.

Attempt to bring Beijing into a nuclear treaty

It is worth noting that Trump is trying to bring China into the conclusion of a new treaty on nuclear disarmament. However, Beijing refuses, as its nuclear arsenals are significantly smaller in volume than the stockpiles of the US and the Russian Federation.
