Trump to meet China’s Xi as Congress mulls bill banning artificial superintelligence – US politics live

Congress has largely avoided regulating the rapidly advancing AI industry despite warnings from prominent leaders regarding the potential catastrophic consequences. The Trump administration has also chosen not to cooperate with the recently appointed deputy head of the UN Refugee Agency, according to recent reports.

During a speech at the UN General Assembly, Donald Trump reiterated his threat to "annihilate" Iran and force it into "Hell" if the regime does not agree to a deal. He claimed to be "working closely with the leaders of Russia and Ukraine" to bring an end to the ongoing conflict, defended his administration's actions in Latin America, including the midnight arrest of former Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, drone strikes on boats in the Caribbean and Pacific, accusations that Mexico is controlled by cartels, and stated that sharing a border with a nation in such a state is "unacceptable."

After delivering his address at the UN, Trump signed a deal with Greenland, which the Greenland Prime Minister Jens-Frederick Nielsen described as reinforcing the importance of NATO alliances. In a measured statement, she acknowledged the agreement recognized the US's historical and ongoing contributions to Greenland's security and defense, while also respecting Denmark's sovereignty, territorial integrity, and the Greenlanders' right to self-determination.

At a CNN reporter's inquiry about his coverage at the UN General Assembly, Trump expressed surprise that the network was present, stating that it 'shouldn't be here' after he had banned the outlet alongside Politico and MSN from the White House on Friday.

During a joint press conference on Tuesday, Vice President JD Vance and Mehmet Oz, administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, announced that the federal government would be removing 760,000 enrollees from Affordable Care Act insurance marketplaces.
