US and China Release Agreement Details Including AI Dialogue and Opposition to Iran's Nuclear Weapons

 [Anchor]

Are you having a good Chuseok holiday? The three-day, two-night US-China summit schedule has come to an end. Amid assessments that there was little substance compared to Trump's extraordinary and unusual hospitality, the White House was the first to release the details of the agreement between the two countries. It includes establishing a dialogue framework in the AI sector and ensuring that Iran's nuclear weapons are not permitted.

Today's (September 26) first report comes from New York correspondent Kim Hyunwoo.

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

Once again, he waited in advance to greet President Xi and his wife, 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. It's a very positive outcome for both countries.]

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

[Xi Jinping / Chinese President: There will be two more opportunities to meet this year through the APEC summit in China and the G20 summit in the US.]

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

The two leaders agreed to refer to AI, or artificial intelligence, as SI (Super Intelligence) moving forward, and to establish a US-China communication channel for related accidents.

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

However, assessments point out that this is nothing new, as China has previously opposed Iran possessing nuclear weapons and imposing tolls in the Strait of Hormuz.

Although a dialogue channel has been established, there remain wide differences in perspectives regarding artificial intelligence regulations, and a compromise has not 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 extravagant hospitality toward Xi Jinping with a large-scale flyover and red carpet, complaints are emerging from Republican hardliners and his core support base, the MAGA camp, questioning whether he went too far.

Additional meetings between the US and Chinese leaders this year will take place after the US midterm elections in November, and the election results are expected to sway the negotiation landscape.
