Trump Calls Xi Meeting Productive, Cites AI as Focus
U.S. President Donald Trump said his meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping was productive for both countries, but the accounts available after their talks offered few details of concrete agreements. Trump highlighted artificial intelligence as a subject of discussion and predicted future developments, while the substantive results of the summit remained unclear. In a post on Truth Social on Friday, Trump called the meeting very productive and said tremendous things would be happening. He also said Xi seemed to agree with calling artificial intelligence “super intelligence,” a term Trump has promoted for use in U.S. government documents. The reports provide Trump’s account of Xi’s reaction, not an independent confirmation from the Chinese leader or his government. The two leaders met at the White House on Thursday during Xi’s state visit to Washington. Their discussions came as the United States and China continue to compete over technology and negotiate broader economic issues. Reports described no major breakthroughs from the meeting, and no joint agreement detailing outcomes on trade or AI was provided. U.S.
