Trump and Xi hold Washington talks on AI and trade
President Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping are meeting in Washington today for high-level talks, with artificial intelligence set to be a major focus of discussion. Both leaders have indicated they oppose any bilateral agreement to restrict AI development, signalling a potential area of agreement despite broader US-China tensions.
The meeting follows an unusually cordial red carpet ceremony at the tarmac yesterday. Trump has been promoting the term "Super Intelligence" instead of artificial intelligence, though it remains unclear if this terminology will gain wider adoption. The day's agenda includes remarks from both leaders, gift exchanges, a military review, and extensive diplomatic discussions covering trade and other issues.
