What Xi Really Wants From Trump

As US President Donald Trump and his Chinese counterpart, Xi Jinping, prepare to meet in Washington, American policymakers must not underestimate China’s ambitions. Under Xi, its foreign policy is focused on securing the support of the Global South while pursuing the long-term goal of seizing Taiwan and achieving global preeminence.

Trump declares victory in Greenland, but the deal exposes a deeper crisis of trust

When a loyal ally can be squeezed over land inside its own territory, collective defence starts to look like an open protection racket.

US and China apparently agree to an AI dialogue.

The US also proposes a "notification mechanism" for AI incidents affecting national security.

Both very sensible and potentially productive!
