The closely matched odds between no meeting by year-end and a summit in China reflect uncertainty over whether President Trump will attend the November 2026 APEC leaders’ meeting in Shenzhen, where Russian officials have signaled that bilateral talks with President Putin would occur if both leaders participate. Putin has confirmed his attendance, while U.S. participation remains a delegation without confirmed presidential presence. Recent phone diplomacy on Ukraine has sustained engagement without producing a new bilateral venue, and low probabilities for Russia, the United States, or other sites align with the absence of scheduled events or official signals pointing elsewhere. Developments such as confirmed U.S. attendance at APEC or alternative diplomatic announcements could shift probabilities before December 31.
