After a three-day summit in Washington, DC, the United States and China have agreed to establish a bilateral communication channel for artificial intelligence incidents. The White House announced this development following meetings between US President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping, who also discussed trade, among other topics. No immediate comment was provided by Beijing regarding the AI communication channel.

Story summary
Before the Xi-Trump summit last week, analysts expected soybeans to be included in tariff-reduced arrangements between China and the U.S., but China excluded them from a tariff-reduction list released on September 28, 2026, despite cutting tariffs on other agricultural goods like corn, wheat, meat, and dairy. This decision disappointed American farmers, such as John Bartman, an Illinois-based soybean farmer who called it "a missed opportunity." U.S. soybeans still face an additional tariff of 10%, which traders say is too high for private crushers to absorb, even as Chinese state buyers have stepped up purchases. Despite this exclusion, both sides agreed to form a trade council to discuss reciprocal tariff cuts on $30 billion worth of products and stabilize economic ties.
