China, US agree to set up channel for AI safety incidents

Beijing and Washington promised to expand dialogue on AI safety and between the countries' militaries while also cutting tariffs on about $30 billion (€26.3 billion) of "non-sensitive goods." The pledges follow the three-day summit between Donald Trump and Xi Jinping in the US.

US President Trump described the summit in an online post as "one of Friendship, Strength, and Success" for both nations.China's President Xi was more constrained, saying the two sides agree on "strategic stability on the basis of respect, fairness, and reciprocity." On Saturday, with Xi back in Beijing, China said the two sides agreed to a mutual tariff reduction on roughly $30 billion of "non-essential" goods. This applies to exports such as agricultural products or holiday decorations.
