  Speaker 1: Today, President Trump holds a high stake meeting with China's
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: President Xi in his first state visit to the United
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: States in more than a decade.
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: The leaders will tackle pressing issues with trade, technology, Taiwan
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: and Tehran set to dominate the discussion.
• 0:15
  Speaker 3: Peter Doocy is live at the White House with the latest.
• 0:18
  Speaker 4: Peter.
• 0:19
  Speaker 5: Good morning. Xi is a tough guy to deal with.
• 0:23
  Speaker 5: He's here. There's a lot that President Trump wants to
• 0:25
  Speaker 5: get done with him, but there is a lot that
• 0:28
  Speaker 5: Xi is signaling he will not do. We've got a
• 0:31
  Speaker 5: graphic to put up for you. When it comes to Taiwan,
• 0:34
  Speaker 5: which the United States has a strategically ambiguous policy towards
• 0:38
  Speaker 5: but might defend in the event of a Chinese invasion,
• 0:41
  Speaker 5: Xi says Taiwan is the core of his core interests
• 0:45
  Speaker 5: when it comes to democracy and human rights. Xi is
• 0:48
  Speaker 5: saying that China's political system and human rights record cannot
• 0:52
  Speaker 5: be challenged when it comes to their development and their politics.
• 0:57
  Speaker 5: China is defending their political system and development path as
• 1:00
  Speaker 5: a choice shaped by its history and its people. And
• 1:04
  Speaker 5: when it comes to their overall development, China is defining
• 1:07
  Speaker 5: the right to development as an inalienable human right, symbolizing
• 1:11
  Speaker 5: dignity and honor. We do expect an AI hotline to
• 1:16
  Speaker 5: be established between the U.S. and China, according to the
• 1:19
  Speaker 5: Treasury Secretary. And there is more room for agreement just
• 1:23
  Speaker 5: under the leader level where Scott Besant sits. He and
• 1:27
  Speaker 5: his counterpart have extended a trade truce by two months.
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: We met today to see if we could do a
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: bigger deal as opposed to just a series of smaller things.
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: We have agreed today that we will extend what we
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: call the Busan Agreement, the economic detente between the two
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: countries that was scheduled to end on November 10th. That
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: is going to be extended until January 10th to give
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: us more time to see what we can do on
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: the economic front. And we had a very productive Sunday.
• 2:05
  Speaker 5: And this is a tough one because of 24-hour news cycles,
• 2:08
  Speaker 5: but something you don't hear anybody in this whole town
• 2:11
  Speaker 5: talk about anymore is COVID origins.
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: This is the.
• 2:16
  Speaker 5: Administration that came back into power and within a week
• 2:20
  Speaker 5: had the CIA release an assessment that COVID may have
• 2:25
  Speaker 5: actually leaked out of a Chinese lab. We know it
• 2:28
  Speaker 5: wiped out trillions of dollars economically. It killed millions of
• 2:32
  Speaker 5: people economically. here in this country, but there just doesn't
• 2:37
  Speaker 5: seem to be much of an appetite about confronting Xi
• 2:40
  Speaker 5: about it.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: Back to you.
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: So, Peter, a couple of questions. Because we've only extended
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: two months, I heard Scott Besson say last night they
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: wanted to extend two years. We said two months. How
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: much does that have to do with the fact that
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: they're not really buying the soybeans at the rate they're
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: supposed to, just a little bit off? The other farm
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: products at the rate they were supposed to, very much off.
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: And they're starting to slow down on the rare earth.
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: So I guess the sense is, why would we continue
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: this if you're already not hitting your marks?
• 3:12
  Speaker 5: Yes, all of those things are contributing factors. There's also
• 3:15
  Speaker 5: the support that they have had for the Iranians during
• 3:19
  Speaker 5: this conflict. And President Trump has shown that he will
• 3:24
  Speaker 5: be really tough economically on China. The Liberation Day tariffs
• 3:27
  Speaker 5: were the hardest on China, and they were hard on
• 3:29
  Speaker 5: the rest of the world because of China's economic manipulation
• 3:33
  Speaker 5: of the rest of the world. And so, Scott Besson
• 3:35
  Speaker 5: sits at a place— where the Chinese know he is
• 3:38
  Speaker 5: not messing around, because his boss will put tariffs that
• 3:41
  Speaker 5: are higher and higher and higher, even if it completely
• 3:43
  Speaker 5: tanks the stock market for a couple of days. So, yes, Brian,
• 3:47
  Speaker 5: everything that you listed there is a big part of it.
• 3:50
  Speaker 5: Add in the Iran piece, too.
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: So, Peter, there's going to be a lot of the— not
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: just AI leaders, but tech leaders that's going to be
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: at that state dinner. I guess the big question, what
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: is the ask from the administration's perspective as it relates
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: to AI— in China? Or is the president coming from
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: the standpoint, they're going to compete and we're not slowing down?
• 4:13
  Speaker 5: They know that they are going to compete, and we
• 4:15
  Speaker 5: know that the United States ultimately is not going to
• 4:17
  Speaker 5: slow down. But they're worried about these AI models escaping
• 4:21
  Speaker 5: containment and going and doing something in the Internet that
• 4:27
  Speaker 5: they want to do, that AI models want to do,
• 4:30
  Speaker 5: without humans knowing about it and without humans being able
• 4:33
  Speaker 5: to stop it. If there is an AI model that
• 4:35
  Speaker 5: breaks containment and disrupts the financial system, if it breaks
• 4:39
  Speaker 5: containment and disrupts somehow a health care system, if it
• 4:43
  Speaker 5: breaks containment and disrupts some kind of a water system,
• 4:48
  Speaker 5: those are all huge problems. And there's a lot that.
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: We don't know.
• 4:53
  Speaker 5: About what these frontier AI company founders are seeing that
• 4:57
  Speaker 5: makes them so concerned. So we know about a handful
• 5:02
  Speaker 5: of small attacks and small hacks that these models have
• 5:08
  Speaker 5: carried out while they're still under development. The CEOs in
• 5:11
  Speaker 5: the U.S. and in China know a lot more than
• 5:13
  Speaker 5: they have said so far. So they need to meet
• 5:15
  Speaker 5: behind closed doors. and talk about a way to just
• 5:20
  Speaker 5: establish quickly with a red phone or something if there
• 5:23
  Speaker 5: is a problem. But that's going to require a lot
• 5:25
  Speaker 5: of trust from the Chinese. And I just made the
• 5:28
  Speaker 5: point about COVID. It all connects. They did not tell
• 5:32
  Speaker 5: the world when COVID escaped. And so we would have
• 5:37
  Speaker 5: to put a lot of trust in them. to actually
• 5:39
  Speaker 5: pick up the phone, the red phone, if an AI
• 5:42
  Speaker 5: model escaped.
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: They didn't pick up that phone and call us. Instead,
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: they let everyone in Wuhan or in that area fly
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: over to the United States. They wouldn't let them leave
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: their city to go anywhere else in China. But they
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: were allowed to get on international flights and go to
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: other countries.
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: They only poisoned the world once.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: Correct. Thank you, Peter. It is interesting how the president
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: and Melania yesterday said they have a great relationship. This
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: Chris Leehan is coming up. He's OpenAI Chief Global Affairs Officer.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: Lawrence is going to interview him about the AI race
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: with China. It's interesting how Melania and the president say
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: he has a great relationship. Why did he meet Plainside? Because...
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: He has a great relationship with Chinese. He wants to
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: welcome them into our country. And the president said yesterday,
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: he said the most important thing is the relationship. I
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: have a very good relationship with President Xi in China.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: Sounds like it doesn't mean anything, but it means everything.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: So how do you balance that with a country that
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: you don't trust? They didn't they weren't honest about covid,
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: a country that's helping Russia, a country that's helping Iran,
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: that's in an A.I. race with us, that's in a
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: chips race with us. What happens behind closed doors?
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: I think the president's position is you've got to have conversation.
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: And it makes no sense that we've had past presidents
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: where the presidents don't talk. And so, to Brian's point earlier,
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: I think the president is all about the pomp and circumstance,
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: and he wants to... He sees the United States as
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: his home, welcomes the person in. He likes to host
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: the person. But behind closed doors is where he wants
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: to have the fights and the debates, but he's not
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: going to do them publicly.
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: He says, hey.
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: Proof that you're giving Iran satellite images of our bases,
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: killing our guys, right? You are buying 80% of their oil,
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: sustaining the war. We know that if it wasn't for
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: the dual-use weapons stuff, tomorrow you could end the war
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: in Ukraine. That's what President Zelensky said yesterday, too. So
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: that's a lot of power, and hopefully the president could
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: use that relationship to change some things on the globe,
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: around the globe.
