US President Donald Trump, Chinese President Xi Jinping, and Russian President Vladimir Putin are among the world leaders expected to attend the APEC summit in Shenzhen on November 18-19 for the APEC summit, a big deal since these three don't often share a room.
With tensions high over global politics and the NVIDIA scandal (looking at you, NVIDIA), this meeting of 21 major economies, covering around half of global trade, has everyone watching.
Talks could cover Ukraine, trade, Taiwan
Expect some tough talks about nuclear weapons between the US Russia, and China, even though they don't always see eye to eye.
The Russia-Ukraine war could come up in discussions between Trump and Putin.
Plus, there's ongoing drama between the US and China over trade rules, rare earth materials, AI tech, as well as regional security issues like disputes over Taiwan and islands in the South China Sea.
Basically: lots of big topics that could shape what happens next around the world.
