US President Donald Trump, Chinese President Xi Jinping, and Russian President Vladimir Putin are planning to meet next week during the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit in Shenzhen. This meeting would bring together the leaders of the three largest nuclear countries for a rare discussion. The main topics may include nuclear weapons and the war involving Iran, but details of the meeting are not fully confirmed.

The idea for the meeting developed quickly, as earlier reports only mentioned it was being discussed. Now, officials say the three leaders plan to meet, although they have not agreed on the topics they will talk about. The full agenda is still not clear.

If the meeting happens, it will be an important diplomatic event. It may give the leaders a chance to talk about serious disagreements directly. What happens next will depend on what they say and if they make any new decisions or agreements.
