Trump and Xi tout ties at White House state dinner

abc.net.au —

President Donald Trump declared US-China relations have "never gotten along better" during a lavish White House state dinner for Chinese President Xi Jinping, part of a three-day summit that yielded little substantive progress on key disputes. The black-tie event featured prominent US tech executives, while Xi emphasized both nations must act as "responsible major countries" and keep AI under human control. The only concrete outcome was a two-month extension of the existing trade agreement. Analysts dismissed the summit as heavy on spectacle and light on accomplishments, noting no resolution on AI regulation, Taiwan, or Iran. Both leaders are scheduled to meet twice more later this year.
