President Donald Trump expects to meet Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin next week on the sidelines of the APEC Summit in China. The discussions are likely to cover major global issues, including nuclear disarmament and ending the war in Iran. Meanwhile, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio defended Trump's approach towards Iran, warning that a nuclear-armed Tehran would pose a serious threat to global security. He said diplomatic progress with Iran remains unlikely due to its unrealistic demands. On Ukraine, Rubio highlighted progress in discussions on post-war security guarantees, with further talks expected in Abu Dhabi involving US envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff. He also reaffirmed US support for a UN-backed mission to tackle gang violence in Haiti. Rubio declined to comment on Republican midterm election losses and Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang. He is visiting Paris from November 8-10 to attend the G7 foreign ministers' meeting and advance US diplomatic interests.
