President Trump said on September 24 that his summit with Chinese President Xi Jinping would not produce a meaningful framework for regulating artificial intelligence. In a Truth Social post, Trump referred to advanced AI as "super intelligence" and argued that the Department of Justice is sufficient to serve as America’s guardrail, rather than supporting additional preventive regulation. The position places the United States closer to China’s preference for developing AI before imposing broader rules. The Washington summit, held September 23-24, followed a May 2026 meeting in Beijing, where Trump said he and Xi discussed standard AI guardrails and the possible export of Nvidia H200 chips. Neither issue resulted in a formal agreement. The approach has drawn concern from officials at OpenAI and Anthropic, who have warned about risks from rapidly advancing AI models. Earlier U.S.-China discussions also identified preventing misuse by non-state actors, including terrorists and criminal networks, as a shared interest, but that objective has not produced binding commitments.
