Summary
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said on Sunday he had a successful meeting with Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng ahead of Chinese President Xi Jinping 's visit to the U.S. this week. The talks covered artificial intelligence and trade, among other issues ahead of Trump and Xi's Sept. 24 summit in Washington, D.C.

The notification mechanism would be for incidents rising "up to a national security level from AI," he said. "We think that like with any cross-border activity, that moving from opaque to more transparency between the number one and the number two AI powers in the world is important," he said.
