Trump-Xi live updates: leaders of US and China to talk AI and trade in major Washington meeting
TL;DR
Trump wants China to use its influence with Iran, while Xi seeks a halt to US arms sales to Taiwan On Wednesday evening, Donald Trump welcomed Xi Jinping to the US, taking the unusual step of greeting the Chinese leader on the tarmac at Joint Base Andrews to kick off his state visit to Washington. Xi’s plane was met with a lavish arrival ceremony that included a 30-metre-long (100ft) red carpet flanked by US service members, a military flyover by two B-1 bombers and a presentation of the flags and national anthems of both countries.
Nauti's Take
For AI teams, the policy implications matter more than headlines about potential deals at this stage. Watch export controls, access rules for chips and models, and requirements for cross-border data flows first.
The AI angle remains too thinly documented in the available reporting to justify concrete action yet.
