Trump told reporters regarding this: "I will do it." These remarks were made in the South Lawn of the White House before heading to a campaign rally in Kansas.
Details of the Proposed Meeting
Trump emphasized that no agreement has yet been reached for holding this meeting, but he would respond positively if possible.

Background of U.S. Relations with Russia and China
U.S. relations with Russia and China in recent years have been influenced by various issues such as sanctions, trade wars, and military disputes. In this context, many analysts believe that holding such a meeting could lead to a reduction in tensions and create new opportunities for international cooperation.
In recent years, Trump has consistently emphasized the need for closer relations with Russia and China. He has previously welcomed holding bilateral meetings with Putin and Xi Jinping and stressed the importance of engaging with these countries.
However, Trump's critics believe that getting closer to these countries could harm U.S. national interests. They have warned that such a meeting might strengthen the positions of Russia and China on the global stage.
Regardless, it seems that the Trump administration is trying to engage in more active diplomacy on a global scale by proposing this meeting while also sending its message to rival countries.
