US President Donald Trump appeared to signal a desire for a smooth meeting with China’s leader by mentioning China only once in his address to the United Nations General Assembly on Tuesday, according to NDTV. The report describes the planned summit as one in which public pageantry could conceal a continuing dispute over the race to develop artificial intelligence. The supplied material does not identify the date or location of the meeting, name the Chinese leader involved, or explain what AI-related issues are expected to be discussed.

It also provides no details of Trump’s wider comments on China, the competing technology policies of the two countries, or any agreement being prepared for the summit. The available information indicates a contrast between the diplomatic tone Trump adopted in his speech and the underlying rivalry over artificial intelligence.
