Trump Announces 'AI Force' Ahead of U.S.-China Summit
President Donald Trump announced the creation of an "AI Force" led by a designated AI adviser, emphasizing support for industry growth while addressing safety concerns. The move comes ahead of his state meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping this week, where AI regulation is expected to be a central topic. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng recently agreed on establishing the "U.S.-China AI Dialogue" as part of broader diplomatic efforts. In Europe, Germany's ruling party faces internal turmoil following regional election setbacks, while Russia's pro-Putin United Russia is projected to win parliamentary elections despite a major drone attack by Ukraine. The weekend also saw significant political developments in both countries ahead of key national decisions and international engagements.
