U.S. President Donald Trump expressed his admiration for Chinese President Xi Jinping's "truly great friendship" during a lavish welcome at the White House. During the historic state visit, Trump and Xi discussed pressing issues, including artificial intelligence (AI), security, and super intelligence. Xi emphasized the need to develop and manage AI for the good of humanity, stating that both countries have the capability and responsibility to ensure AI remains under human control.

Trump and Xi's third meeting since Trump's return to power aims to maintain the broader detente and prevent a repeat of the trade war, but little is expected to change.
