Trump Confident US Leads China in AI, Prepares to Host Xi Jinping on Sept 24
Geopolitics
US President Donald Trump expressed confidence that the United States has a significant advantage over China in artificial intelligence (AI) and is preparing to welcome Chinese President Xi Jinping for a visit to Washington, which is expected to take place on September 24. Trump said the two sides have many good things to discuss. However, analysts assess that this summit is unlikely to lead to concrete agreements or major structural reforms. Trump also praised his record on attracting investment, claiming that $20 trillion has flowed into the US, which is five times more than China's previous record from years ago, although analysts note that this figure is difficult to verify. Additionally, Trump said China is an easier negotiating partner than Canada, following the collapse of talks with Canada, and that the administration will announce details of an AI-driven air traffic control system upgrade within 30 days.
