Xi should say "thank you" to President Trump when they meet.

His country is reaping the benefits of Trump's damaging foreign policies.

Carney, when asked just now about Trump’s upcoming visit with Chinese President Xi: “The United States has far deeper cooperation today in some of the most important strategic technologies on the planet with China than Canada does. That's an observation.”

"Any [US-China] A.I. talks will be complicated by the fact that neither country is likely to agree to anything that restrains their own competitive ability, Mr. Mehta said."

Artificial intelligence is on the agenda when leaders from the United States and China meet this week. But with little consensus on a path forward, expectations are limited.

A boycott of the White House press pool by the major networks deprives Trump of the oxygen of screen time... He had to rely on NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani to get on air, not at his own White House but as a guest at Gracie Mansion in the heart of liberal America. #USA www.nytimes.com/2026/09/21/u...
