Trump and Xi meet in DC, with tech CEOs at the state dinner
BBC reports plenty of ceremony around Xi Jinping’s White House visit, but little confirmed movement on major issues.
US President Donald Trump held talks with Chinese President Xi Jinping at the White House on day two of Xi’s visit to Washington, DC, according to BBC. The visit brought pomp and ceremony, but BBC said there was “little in the way of confirmed progress” on key issues. The day ended with a state dinner attended by major tech CEOs, including Tesla’s Elon Musk and OpenAI’s Sam Altman.
Why it matters: For the DMV, this was global power politics happening right in DC. For our tech-minded readers, the presence of Musk and Altman shows how closely AI, EVs, and geopolitics now sit at the same table.
