Xi and Trump Meet at White House on AI and Trade

dw.com (French) —

Chinese President Xi Jinping is meeting US President Donald Trump at the White House on Thursday, September 24, marking Xi's first visit in over a decade, with artificial intelligence as a key discussion topic following the extension of a bilateral trade truce. Trump praised Xi as "strong," "dynamic," and "in better shape than ever" on Truth Social, amid persistent rumors about the Chinese leader's health. The visit includes a military parade, fighter jet flyover, and a gala dinner hosted by Melania Trump, with tech leaders like OpenAI's Sam Altman and Elon Musk invited. Trump stated that "superintelligence" would be a major discussion topic, preferring to keep regulation at its current stage, a position he claims China shares. Xi expressed satisfaction with "in-depth exchanges" and said the two countries "should be partners rather than rivals," though observers remain skeptical of major breakthroughs beyond Wednesday's announcement of extending the trade truce until January 10.
