Trump and Xi Set AI Incident Channel Alongside $30 Billion Tariff-Relief Plan

President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping used a Washington state visit to move AI risk management into a formal bilateral track, pairing a planned incident channel with tariff-relief recommendations for $30 billion of non-sensitive goods in each direction. The package is a limited de-escalation, not a broad AI treaty: it gives the two largest AI powers a venue for crisis communication while leaving export controls, model competition and reporting rules unresolved.
