Donald Trump says "Our guardrail is the DOJ!" on AI oversight

President Donald Trump is set to host Chinese President Xi Jinping at the White House Thursday for a state visit expected to cover Taiwan, trade, artificial intelligence and the conflict with Iran. Ahead of the talks, Trump wrote on Truth Social that AI would be a major topic; his post weighed in on AI oversight, said Beijing shared his view, and named federal law enforcement as the check. At the United Nations General Assembly, he opposed global restrictions on developing AI, said the U.S. is ahead of China, and argued agencies could respond if concerns emerged. The two countries agreed to extend their tariff pause by two months, according to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. Taiwan is another expected flashpoint, with Xi wanting Washington to end weapons sales to the island permanently and Trump delaying a $14 billion package.
