China has confirmed that discussions are taking place regarding a potential meeting between Chinese leader Xi Jinping, U.S. President Donald Trump, and Russian President Vladimir Putin. The gathering could occur this month in Shenzhen, China, on the sidelines of a regional summit. China's foreign ministry spokesperson Mao Ning confirmed these discussions at a press briefing. Experts suggest that while the meeting might be historic, substantive discussions are unlikely due to the leaders' conflicting interests. Instead, it is expected to serve as a photo opportunity. Donald Trump is anticipated to travel to Shenzhen to meet Xi Jinping for the third time this year. Russia is reportedly advocating for this meeting, which could be seen as a diplomatic achievement. ## Disagreement on meeting's purpose Washington Top News reported that experts believe the three leaders are unlikely to discuss anything substantive because their interests are at odds, but they would gather for a photo, with China carefully choreographing the meeting. Arab News also stated that experts predict substantial discussions may be unlikely due to conflicting interests, with the meeting primarily serving as a photo opportunity. ## What the coverage left out None of the left-rated digests mention the specific detail that Donald Trump is expected to travel to Shenzhen to meet Xi for the third time this year.
