Trump hosts Xi at White House dinner with top tech CEOs
President Donald Trump hosted Chinese President Xi Jinping at a White House state dinner this week, attended by top U.S. tech CEOs, amid talks on trade and artificial intelligence. The visit followed a U.S.-Greenland security agreement signed Sept. 22 that restricts Chinese military presence in the Arctic. The dinner drew 134 guests, including leaders from Nvidia, OpenAI, Tesla, Apple, Microsoft, and Google. A senior U.S. official said discussions covered the economy, trade, and "Super Intelligence," though no concrete agreements were announced, contrasting with Trump's May trip to Beijing. The Greenland pact, which expands U.S. military rights and limits Chinese investment, was seen as a strategic blow to Beijing's Arctic ambitions. Experts viewed the tech CEO invitation as a signal of U.S. dominance in the AI race.
