习近平、特朗普与普京会在 APEC 会面吗?首先必须就议程达成一致
Will Xi, Trump, Putin meet at Apec? First, they must agree on an agenda
特朗普表示愿在 APEC 峰会期间与习近平、普京会面,但三人是否会晤仍不确定,关键取决于各方能否就议程达成一致。专家认为,若三方会面,俄罗斯将最受益,因为这会传递其国际孤立局面正在结束、仍具大国地位的象征;特朗普则可展示与其他大国打交道的能力,但可能令美国盟友不安。
While US President Donald Trump has said he is open to sitting down with his Chinese and Russian counterparts Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin at the Apec summit, it remains far from certain that the three leaders will actually meet in a few weeks.
Observers said much would depend on whether the countries could agree on an agenda, with one expert describing this as a “critical lever”.
Russia was set to gain most if the trilateral meeting took place, experts said, as the summit would be a potent symbol that the country’s international isolation was ending and of its great-power status. While Trump would get to show he could deal with the other powers, this could unsettle US allies.
Speculation has been building over whether the three leaders, who are all expected to attend the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in the Chinese city of Shenzhen, will hold an unprecedented sit-down on the sidelines.
