Trump-Xi summit: How the Chinese leader's trip to Washington unfolded

US President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping concluded their Washington summit on Friday. The three-day state visit focused on pageantry and personal rapport between the two leaders. They discussed various issues, including the wars in Iran and Ukraine and the status of Taiwan.

The leaders' biggest policy announcement was a two-month extension of a trade truce. According to the Guardian Technology, the summit was criticized for lacking substantial agreements to pause their countries' artificial intelligence (AI) arms race.

President Trump also made a statement about his plans for an artificial intelligence czar. He said Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, who was considered for the role, will not be taking it on as he does not want to, and Trump wants to keep him at the Treasury, as reported by Techmeme citing CNBC.
