    European Media Panic Over Trump-Putin-Xi Meeting at APEC Summit

    European media outlets are expressing concern over the potential meeting of U.S. President Donald Trump, Russian President Vladimir Putin, and Chinese President Xi Jinping at the upcoming APEC summit in China. The Telegraph describes this meeting as a 'division of Ukraine' and worries about Beijing's participation instead of London's, as occurred during the Yalta Conference in 1945. Analysts fear that China's involvement will allow it to demonstrate its superpower status and pose problems for traditional U.S. allies. German magazine Spiegel warns that this meeting could lead to a 'dangerous alliance' and advises Europe to impose trade sanctions on Russia, the U.S., and China.
