U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping met in Washington for talks focused on trade tensions, technology, artificial intelligence and broader geopolitical issues.

Trump described the meeting as a “big day” and emphasized what he called his deep friendship with Xi. The Chinese leader urged “healthy” competition between the world’s two largest economies, according to AP News. Al Jazeera reported that the presidents discussed cooperation as well as the risks associated with AI.

China’s position in the global supply of rare earths was also a central issue surrounding the summit, Bloomberg reported.

The meeting also included a softer diplomatic element: Axios reported that the summit revived “panda diplomacy.”

France24 reported that the two governments resisted calls for global oversight of artificial intelligence during Xi’s first state visit to Washington in nine years. The talks continued with a White House dinner, as both leaders publicly stressed engagement despite persistent economic and technological competition.
