Trump hosts Xi at White House state dinner
Donald Trump hosted Chinese leader Xi Jinping at a White House state dinner attended by tech billionaires, defense officials and media figures, featuring a formal multi-course meal rather than the burgers Trump once joked about. The visit followed a week of US-China encounters and included no clear breakthroughs on AI, trade, Taiwan or the US war with Iran, although Trump claimed Xi agreed to call AI "super intelligence." Reporters from CNN and MS NOW were barred, the Justice Department is litigating press access, and the event underscored spectacle over concrete policy results.
