Trump-Xi-Putin summit
President Donald Trump will meet Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in Shenzhen next week, the White House said, according to the BBC and Al Jazeera. It will be the first three-way summit of the three leaders.
Trump plans to discuss reducing nuclear weapons, the White House said. The US-Russia New START arms treaty lapsed in February, leaving the two largest arsenals without major limits, the BBC and Al Jazeera reported. Expectations of a deal are low, Al Jazeera reported. The war with Iran may also come up, according to the BBC and Al Jazeera.

Alaska Senate count
Democrat Mary Peltola widened her lead over Republican Senator Dan Sullivan to 10,412 votes, 49.8% to 46.1% of first-choice votes, the Anchorage Daily News and Alaska Public Media reported. The Associated Press estimates about 96% of ballots are counted but has not called the race, the last unresolved US Senate contest.
If Peltola stays below 50%, the race goes to a ranked-choice tabulation on 18 November. A win would give the Democratic caucus a 56-seat majority; a Sullivan hold would leave it at 55, Alaska Public Media reported.
