Trump Hosts Xi Jinping with Tech Leaders in Historic State Dinner
U.S. President Donald Trump hosted a state dinner for Chinese President Xi Jinping, attended by top executives from major tech firms including Nvidia, Microsoft, Google, OpenAI, and SpaceX. AI was a central topic of discussion during their earlier talks as global concerns over its safety have risen sharply in recent weeks. According to the post-meeting readout from China’s side, both leaders emphasized cooperation on AI while acknowledging potential competition. Xi Jinping highlighted the need for dialogue around risks and benefits, stressing that AI should be developed responsibly under human control. Trump echoed support for continued collaboration without providing further specifics at this time. Despite a generally cooperative tone in public statements, underlying tensions remain, particularly regarding U.S. export controls on advanced chips to China. Analysts suggest the meeting may have established an emergency communication channel similar to Cold War-era protocols.
