- Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced that Washington and Beijing agreed to extend their existing trade truce by two months, facilitated by the newly operational China Board established during this week's meetings.

- "The two leaders agreed to use the term 'super intelligence' rather than 'artificial intelligence' to describe the applicable emerging technologies," the White House said; both nations will sign a military memorandum of understanding soon.
