time.com —

President Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping met at the White House on Thursday for several hours of talks ahead of a state dinner attended by top AI leaders, including Elon Musk, Sam Altman, Jeff Bezos, and Sundar Pichai. Trump called the meeting "great," while Xi stressed that AI development must remain "under human control." During the bilateral meeting, Xi raised Iran, urging resumed US-Iran negotiations and support for a prior memorandum of understanding. On Taiwan, he asked the US to maintain its opposition to Taiwanese independence. Xi also proposed more direct flights, invited 100,000 American students for cultural exchange, and announced two pandas for Zoo Atlanta. This marks the first second formal state visit by a Chinese leader to America. Xi's previous formal visit was in 2015 under President Obama, while Trump and Xi first met in 2017 at Mar-a-Lago. Their last meeting was in May during Trump's Beijing visit, which launched a Board of Trade to lower tariffs on non-security-risk products.
