AI, Tariffs, Rare Minerals: What to Expect From Trump's Upcoming Summit With Xi Jinping
AI, Tariffs, Rare Minerals: What to Expect From Trump's Upcoming Summit With Xi Jinping Washington and Beijing have grown ever more linked in the AI boom, making hardware exports and technological restrictions hefty bargaining chips in negotiations. Of all the events in the United Nations General Assembly taking place this week, the most anticipated by far is the upcoming meeting between Donald Trump and Chinese president Xi Jinping. Though the majority of the diplomatic activities are happening in New York, this face-to-face between the two leaders will take place at the White House. Trump is scheduled to personally welcome Xi at Joint Base Andrews on Wednesday, September 23--an unusual diplomatic gesture, as US presidents do not typically go to the airport to welcome foreign leaders. Ahead of that airport reunion, a US delegation led by Treasury secretary Scott Bessent and trade representative Jamieson Greer is meeting with He Lifeng, China's vice premier of the State Council, to set the agenda.

What's the US-China AI'hotline' that Trump plans to pitch to Xi Jinping? Share What's the US-China AI'hotline' that Trump plans to pitch to Xi Jinping? on social media The United States wants a new "notification mechanism" with China to warn each other when an artificial intelligence incident becomes serious enough to threaten national security. The proposal, effectively an "AI hotline", was discussed on Sunday during talks in New York between US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng, ahead of a summit between US President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping in Washington this week. The initiative comes amid an intensifying contest for AI supremacy between the world's top two economies, together with increasing warnings from tech giants that guardrails are necessary around the ever-growing technology. So, what do we know about this so-called hotline, and where is the AI battle between the US and China headed?

President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev declared 2026 the "Year of Digitalisation and Artificial Intelligence" to introduce advanced technologies in all sectors of the economy, develop skills, startups and Kazakh-language technologies. In 2025, the government created a Ministry of Artificial Intelligence and Digital Development, and last month, it approved an action plan through 2029 that includes promoting AI literacy in schools and universities, digitalising healthcare, public services, tax collection and the energy sector.
