Trump hails ‘truly great friendship’ with Xi Jinping as the Chinese leader begins his state visit

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said the countries extended their tariff pause by two months as Trump and Xi opened talks on AI and Taiwan.

  • On Thursday, President Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping met in Washington, hailing their 'truly great friendship' while announcing a two-month extension of the trade truce set to expire on November 10.
  • The two-month extension aims to facilitate a more durable trade agreement, following administration officials' prior suggestions for a three- to six-month window as China works to fulfill commitments on rare earth exports, aircraft, and soybeans.
  • Secretary Scott Bessent announced a proposed 'notification mechanism' for AI incidents to manage security risks, while Xi announced plans to invite 100,000 American youth for exchanges and send two pandas to the zoo in Atlanta.
  • Sen. Roger Wicker criticized the 'lavish welcome' for Xi, citing concerns regarding the Chinese Communist Party, while Trump continues withholding final approval for a record-breaking $14 billion arms package as negotiation leverage.
  • Both leaders view time as a strategic asset in their economic and national security competition, with Trump rebranding AI as 'superintelligence' and emphasizing its place on the agenda amid global anxieties about its future impact.
