Conservative media outlets in the United States have issued warnings regarding a proposed trilateral summit between Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin, and Xi Jinping. The meeting was suggested by the Russian President to occur during the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in Shenzhen, China. 

The New York Post characterized the potential meeting as a “Yalta 2” scenario, warning that participation would leave the United States “voluntarily outnumbered by our determined enemies.” Additionally, the Wall Street Journal cautioned that such an alliance could “divide the globe into spheres of influence” and damage American global credibility.

European diplomats have also expressed concern, with reports from a private gathering in Brussels suggesting that the White House approach appears to serve Russian interests. During these discussions, one ambassador reportedly described the administration as being occupied by a “Russian asset.”
