Recent diplomatic signals point to the November APEC summit in Shenzhen, China, as the most likely venue for the next Trump-Putin meeting. Kremlin aides have stated that Putin plans to attend the November 18-19 gathering, where both leaders are expected to participate and could hold bilateral talks on the sidelines, possibly alongside Chinese President Xi Jinping. A recent substantive phone call between Trump and Putin reinforced interest in an in-person encounter at the China-hosted event, with energy and economic issues also discussed. Lower probabilities for the United States reflect limited prospects for a G20 summit in December, as Putin has not confirmed attendance. Other locations lack comparable scheduled multilateral forums or official indications of a bilateral meeting.
