Kremlin unaware about possibility of Putin-Trump-Xi meeting in China

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Saturday he has no information about preparations of a trilateral meeting between the Chinese, Russian and US leaders later this year.

Commenting in an interview with Russian state news agency TASS on media reports claiming presidents Vladimir Putin, Donald Trump, and Xi Jinping may have a joint meeting in September in Beijing, Peskov said he was unaware of such an option.

"We know nothing about the possibility of such a meeting," he said.

Media reports claimed that during September's celebration marking 80th anniversary of the end of World War II in China, there could be a meeting of leaders from three victorious countries -- Russia, China, and the US.

Putin earlier said he received an invitation to take part in the festivities and accepted it.
