Russia has extended an invitation to Trump! If they want to talk, they can do it in Beijing on September 3rd! Russia has clearly stated this time! The Kremlin spokesperson Peskov said that Putin will indeed visit China in early September to attend the military parade hosted by China. If Trump decides to visit China at the same time, Putin may meet with Trump in Beijing. Before this, Peskov also said that a summit between the US and Russian leaders is just a matter of time.
Evidently, Russia's message is clear: if Trump wants to talk, Russia is willing to talk to Trump in Beijing. Will Trump really come to Beijing to attend the military parade? Honestly, the possibility is very low. Because it involves the dual coordination of Sino-US and US-Russia relations. In such a short time, it is unlikely for the United States to coordinate both Sino-US and US-Russia relations simultaneously.
A summit between the US and Russian leaders would at least mean that Russia accepts the US's ceasefire demands and conditions, which is obviously difficult. As for the summit between the Chinese and American leaders, regardless of other issues, the issue of China-US tariffs must have progress. Now, the US wants us to open up our rare earths and also open our market to American products, while we require the US to further reduce tariffs and lift the ban on high-tech products. Obviously, there is still much to discuss between China and the US. Therefore, we should not have too high expectations for Trump's attendance.
