US and China Release Agreement Details on AI Dialogue and Opposition to Iran's Nuclear Program

[Anchor]

How are you spending your Chuseok holiday? The two-day, three-night US-China summit schedule has fully concluded. Amid evaluations that despite President Trump's extraordinary and unusual hospitality, the talks lacked substance, the White House was the first to release the details of the agreement between the two countries. The agreement includes establishing a dialogue mechanism in the field of AI and opposing nuclear weapons for Iran.

For our first news today, September 26, here is correspondent Kim Hyunwoo in New York.

President Trump's hospitality continued until the final day of Chinese President Xi Jinping's state visit schedule.

He waited in advance to welcome President Xi and his wife once again, choosing the White House Red Room, decorated in red—which symbolizes good fortune in China—as the venue for their tea chat.

[Trump / US President: I think we made tremendous progress in the meeting. Tremendous progress. Very positive results for both countries.]

President Xi stated that the two countries would become a relationship aiming for strategic stability based on reciprocity, and called for continued communication.

Immediately after President Xi departed following his visit to the US, the White House published the details of the bilateral agreement on its website.

The two leaders agreed to call AI, or artificial intelligence, SI—super intelligence—instead, and to establish a US-China dialogue channel for communication in the event of related accidents.

The White House also reported that they agreed to oppose Iran's acquisition of nuclear weapons and the imposition of tolls on international waterways.

However, evaluations indicate that this is nothing new, as China has previously opposed Iran possessing nuclear weapons and imposing tolls on the Strait of Hormuz.

Although a dialogue channel has been established, there remain wide gaps in perspectives regarding artificial intelligence regulation, and no compromise has been found on the Taiwan issue.

Jamieson Greer, the US Trade Representative, stated that there were achievements in trade negotiations with China and that the results would be revealed next Monday.

Regarding Trump's lavish hospitality toward Xi Jinping with a massive flyover and a red carpet, complaints are emerging from conservative Republicans and his core support base, the MAGA faction, questioning whether he went too far.

An additional meeting between the US and Chinese leaders this year is scheduled to take place after the US midterm elections in November, and the election results are expected to influence the dynamics of the negotiations.
