Recent diplomatic activity has kept the implied probability of a 2026 Trump-Putin meeting closely balanced between China and no meeting by year-end. US envoys met Putin in Moscow in early September to advance Ukraine peace proposals, following the 2025 Alaska summit, while Kremlin statements highlighted possible trilateral talks with Xi Jinping on the sidelines of the November APEC summit in Shenzhen. Trader consensus reflects uncertainty over whether these efforts will produce a confirmed bilateral or multilateral encounter in China versus stalled negotiations or scheduling constraints. Confirmation of Trump’s APEC attendance, concrete progress on territorial or security issues, or alternative venue announcements could widen the gap between leading outcomes.
