Donald Trump says on AI rules: "to leave it exactly where it is"

President Donald Trump hosted Chinese President Xi Jinping at the White House on Thursday for a state visit centered on trade and artificial intelligence, among other issues. On AI, Trump posted on social media that he would rely on the Justice Department instead of adding new federal rules, and he said China held the same position. Xi said Thursday that the two countries, as leading AI nations, have a duty to manage the technology's growth so it stays under human control and serves people's well-being. The two leaders expressed differing views on the subject. During the visit, the US also secured a two-month extension of the trade agreement that ended last year's trade war, which Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said would give both sides more time for economic negotiations.
