President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping opened the second day of their White House summit schedule by pairing warm public remarks with competing demands over trade, business conditions and artificial intelligence. Trump called for a more balanced commercial relationship and greater market access for American farmers and ranchers, while Xi said Chinese companies should receive fair treatment in the United States. AI emerged as a contentious issue, with U.S. companies accusing Chinese rivals, including Alibaba, of using distillation to draw on established American AI systems in building new models. Trump said "superintelligence," his term for AI, would be among the pressing issues at the summit and indicated before the meeting that AI regulation would not change despite calls for stronger guardrails. The meeting follows a two-month extension of the U.S.-China trade truce beyond its Nov. 10 expiration, though major disputes remain over Taiwan, advanced-chip restrictions, China's support for Iran and Russia's war effort, and commitments involving rare earth exports, U.S. soybeans and aircraft. The New York Times said expectations for a breakthrough easing broader bilateral tensions remain low.
