Trump Hails “Truly Great Friendship” With Xi

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump is hailing the “truly great friendship” he’s forged with Xi Jinping as the Chinese leader began his highly anticipated state visit at the White House. Xi is pressing for the world’s two biggest economies to work more closely together to avoid friction as they compete. Xi also announced Thursday that China will invite 100,000 American youth to come to his country for studies and exchanges in the next five years and that China will send two pandas to the zoo in Atlanta in the coming days. Xi spoke about artificial intelligence and said China and the U.S. had a responsibility to ensure that humans always operate AI.
