Japan monitoring possible U.S.-China-Russia summit, deputy cabinet secretary says
Japan’s Deputy Chief Cabinet Secretary Yusuke Nakanishi declined to comment on a possible U.S.-China-Russia leaders’ summit at a November 9 press conference, but said Japan was monitoring the three countries’ moves given their international influence. He said Japan would respond appropriately while maintaining close communication with the United States. U.S. President Donald Trump had raised the possibility of a three-way meeting with China’s Xi Jinping and Russia’s Vladimir Putin the previous day.
