U.S., China establish AI hotline, extend trade truce at Washington summit

The United States and China announced on 28 September that they had established a bilateral AI incident communication channel, extended their trade truce for two months and agreed on modest economic concessions after a three-day summit in Washington. The talks followed a series of preparatory meetings, including a discussion between U. S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng on AI, tariffs and critical minerals on 22 September (Reuters).

President Donald Trump then hosted President Xi Jinping in Washington from 23 to 25 September, a state visit arranged by the Chinese foreign ministry (Reuters). During the summit the leaders agreed to a $30 billion reciprocal tariff reduction (Reuters) and to continue AI dialogue, with officials mentioning a possible emergency hotline (CNBC). The trade truce was formally prolonged for another two months (Reuters) and analysts noted that the overall outcomes were limited (CNBC).
