US President Donald Trump says the United States should not “integrate” its AI efforts with China, despite recent discussions with Chinese President Xi Jinping. Speaking at the White House, Trump says he had a “big talk” with Xi about AI and related matters.
Trump frames his position around competitiveness, arguing the US is “leading” China in AI and wants to maintain that advantage. He says China’s intent is to slow US progress, and he argues that when the US is ahead, it should not “open it up” or coordinate closely with China. The outlets report similar wording from Trump, including his preference not to combine initiatives.
Both reports describe Trump’s stance as a rejection of closer collaboration on AI, but they present it through slightly different emphases: one highlights his reasoning that China aims to hinder US progress, while the other focuses more directly on the decision not to join cross-country AI integration following the Xi meeting.
