Three of the world's most powerful leaders. One historic meeting. And a world watching nervously.
Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin, and Xi Jinping are preparing for a landmark trilateral summit in China.
Trump is looking for diplomatic breakthroughs on nuclear arms control and the Iran war. Putin wants Russia treated as an equal global power and hopes for a favorable outcome in Ukraine. Xi Jinping, meanwhile, faces difficult choices over nuclear negotiations and China's relationship with Russia and Europe.
But my biggest concern is not simply what these three leaders might agree on.
It is who might be left out.
Ukraine fears that decisions about its territory and future could be discussed without its participation. Japan is watching closely as its most important ally, the United States, engages with Beijing and Moscow.
The 1945 Yalta Conference reshaped the postwar world through negotiations among major powers.
Could this summit create a similar moment in modern history?
My view: Real peace cannot be built by powerful countries making deals over the heads of the nations directly affected. Sovereignty and security must remain at the center of any new world order.
What do you think? Is this a step toward peace, or the beginning of a new global power struggle?
