Beijing says the idea, reportedly discussed during Trump-Putin summit in Alaska, is ‘neither reasonable nor realistic’
Trump told reporters on Monday that Washington and Moscow were discussing ways to reduce their nuclear arsenals, adding that he hoped China would also join the process.
On Wednesday, foreign ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun rejected the proposal at a regular press briefing.
“Demanding that China join China-US-Russia trilateral nuclear disarmament talks is neither reasonable nor realistic,” he said.
The US leader told reporters at the Oval Office: “One of the things we’re trying to do with Russia and with China is denuclearisation, and it’s very important.”
