The Latest: Trump and Xi Jinping will hold talks in Washington on trade, AI and more

Donald Trump and Xi Jinping will hold talks Thursday at the White House covering trade irritants, safeguards for artificial intelligence and the war in Iran, with each leader pushing different priorities. Trump wants China to use its influence with Iran, while Xi seeks a halt to U.S. arms sales to Taiwan. The two countries also agreed Wednesday to extend a fragile trade truce for two more months beyond a November expiration. Separately, a federal judge temporarily blocked Trump’s ban on CNN, MSNBC and Politico from White House grounds, ordering early Thursday that access be restored, offering a short reprieve in a broader standoff over coverage.
