Trump-Xi summit ends with fanfare but no AI deal

firstpost.com —

President Trump and China's Xi Jinping concluded their Washington summit on Friday without a major agreement on artificial intelligence, drawing criticism that they missed a chance to pause the AI arms race. The three-day visit, Xi's first to the White House in over a decade, focused on pageantry and personal rapport, with discussions on Ukraine and Taiwan. Their only policy announcement was a two-month trade truce extension, despite top tech executives attending a state dinner. Critics like Rep. Ro Khanna said Trump showed no interest in technical working groups, which Xi might have accepted. Trump touted vague progress, while Xi stressed AI must remain under human control, though no concrete framework emerged.
