Xi and Trump to Meet on AI Risks

U.S. President Donald Trump will personally receive Chinese leader Xi Jinping at Joint Base Andrews on Wednesday, an unusually welcoming gesture, with AI expected to be the central topic amid escalating superpower tensions. The meeting comes as the two nations compete fiercely in AI development, with Trump emphasizing that "whoever wins AI wins" and China accusing the U.S. of seeking monopoly through chip export restrictions. Other key issues include the unresolved trade war, Iran-related sanctions, and Taiwan's status. The U.S. has proposed a joint alarm mechanism for AI incidents affecting national security, citing shared risks like cyberattacks and loss of human control. Both sides express desire for strategic stability, though experts see limited prospects for comprehensive AI cooperation.
