Xi and Trump urge peace during White House state visit
Chinese President Xi Jinping called for the US and China to manage their superpower rivalry and keep artificial intelligence under human control during a state visit to the White House on Thursday, where President Donald Trump gave him a lavish welcome. Trump hailed his "truly great friendship" with Xi, noting they have met three times since he returned to power, and said they would discuss security, technology, and "super intelligence." Xi emphasized both nations share a "historic responsibility" to manage AI for good, and announced a pair of pandas would head to a US zoo. The visit, which includes a state dinner and military flyover, masks tensions over trade, Iran, and Taiwan. Trump extended a trade truce by two months, and confirmed he would discuss his stalled Iran war with Xi. The trip concludes Friday with tea and a visit to the National Archives.
