Chinese President Xi Jinping and US President Donald Trump delivered remarks at the White House as Xi’s state visit entered its second day, the South China Morning Post reports. Coverage highlighted a proposed joint arrangement, artificial-intelligence cooperation and discussions involving security and relations between the two powers.

Chinese President Xi Jinping and US President Donald Trump delivered remarks at the White House at the start of the second day of Xi’s closely watched state visit, the South China Morning Post reports. The coverage identifies several issues linked to the summit, including a new China-US joint arrangement, possible cooperation on artificial intelligence and the prospect of avoiding conflict between the two countries. It also refers to discussions after a military review and events in the White House Rose Garden.

The report says the leaders moved from public appearances to business after weeks of frustration, delays and posturing. The supplied material does not provide the full terms of the arrangement, explain the proposed AI cooperation or record detailed decisions from the closed-door bilateral talks. It also mentions the arrival of chief executives, but gives no names or account of their role.

The available extract therefore does not establish which agreements were concluded or how the two governments will implement any understandings reached during the summit.
