Trump says AI will dominate Xi summit as safeguards and deal hopes fade

  • Donald Trump said AI will be a major discussion topic at his 24th summit with Chinese President Xi Jinping, alongside trade, Iran and other disputes.
  • Trump said he wants AI development unchanged and that China holds the same position; Bessent's informal incident-notification proposal remains unendorsed by China.
  • Prediction markets put the chance of Trump using "Economy" or "Economic" in remarks at 30.5%, while a court ordered restored media access for several outlets.

President Donald Trump said artificial intelligence will be a major topic at his summit with Chinese President Xi Jinping on the 24th, while signaling opposition to new safeguards or regulations. In a Truth Social post, Trump used "Super Intelligence" for AI, said he wanted development left unchanged and that China held the same position, and identified the Department of Justice as the safeguard. The summit also covers trade, the war in Iran and other disputes, but both sides have lowered expectations for concrete outcomes. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has proposed an informal channel for notifying each other about AI incidents, which China has not publicly endorsed, and technology companies and China hawks see little chance of a meaningful or binding AI-safety agreement. Prediction markets put the chance of Trump using "Economy" or "Economic" during remarks at Xi's state arrival at 30.5%, down from 37% over the previous 24 hours. Separately, a U.S. District Court judge ordered the White House to restore media access for several major outlets, finding that the administration's ban likely violated due process.
