Here's how I see this going down.
Trump offered Xi coal. And gas. Cheap. If he has to subsidize it to make this happen he will. That removes the only thing they have other than geography. I would not be surprised if Trump promised once this is settled we will pull out of Korea. Korea then becomes a major trade partner for them. Huge win for both sides.
I don't know where Taiwan and South China Sea come down. But with all the goodwill this would engender, I suspect we'll both be OK with the outcome.
And Putin will be quaking in his shirtless suit wondering what the hell went wrong with his plans for world domination.
There may be a middle east war, but it won't be "The big one" because he's going to have to watch his flank. And if that's how this all plays out, Trump is going to go down in world history as one of the greats.
Unfortunately, it never works out like you plan.

China is not our friend.
The plan since Nixon first ushered them in was for them to one day supplant us as the world's most powerful nation. By 2025 they will have surpassed us as all indications indicate already. What the hell does Trump have to bargain with?? China holds all the cards for the future. They think long-term as we can't think past what we are going to eat for dinner.
China and Russia are friends. They trade outside the dollar and trade military secrets and power. They plan on an Eurasian bloc that will supplant the NATO western hegemony. Russia will push for the balkanized states of the former soviet union like latvia to be apart of Russia again as they have done in Ukraine with Crimea.
I don't think China wants Kim around anymore than we do, but they aren't our friends whatsoever. If Trump thinks they can be 'dealed' he is dealing with an entirely different beast.
