Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is expected to present President Donald Trump with a proposed U.S.-China artificial-intelligence agreement that would create a direct channel for reporting AI incidents with potential national-security implications. Trump is expected to decide on the proposal before meeting Chinese President Xi Jinping, whom the White House said he will greet at Joint Base Andrews on Wednesday before further discussions on Thursday and Friday. The proposed mechanism would cover incidents including hacking, national-security concerns and rogue AI systems, although its operational rules, notification thresholds and Chinese acceptance remain unclear. The initiative follows wider U.S.-China discussions on AI, investment and trade, while Canada and France have also sought roles in global AI governance despite debate over their standing among leading AI powers.
