Trump and Xi meet at White House, pledge cooperation on AI and trade

deccanherald.com —

Chinese President Xi Jinping began his second state visit to the US on Thursday with a formal White House welcome from President Donald Trump, who pledged continued cooperation between the two nations. Trump said he and Xi have forged a "truly great friendship" since 2016, while Xi urged peaceful coexistence, stating the countries should compete as a "race" rather than a "wrestle." Xi also emphasized both nations must ensure artificial intelligence remains under human control. The visit follows a US-proposed AI incident notification mechanism and an extension of the trade truce, with baseline tariffs having reached 145 percent during last year's trade battle. No major US TV network aired the ceremony live, in solidarity with media outlets banned from White House grounds.
