It's Friday, September twenty fifth, and for two countries who think they could be imperiled by the other, they seem awfully friendly. We start here. President Trump rolls out the red carpet for Chinese President Xi Jinping. There were troops on display, military jets flying overhead. If the warmth was artificial, that's likely because of artificial intelligence will break down the negotiations. A judge said to reinstate the reporters, the White House kept them out anyway.
Over and over again, these reporters were going back to the Secret Service booth and essentially getting turned away.
even with the journalists back in the building there are new questions for the free press. And how many service members have to try to kill themselves before something changes?
We've talked to some people who say, oh, that's normal for a deployment, but this was unlike any other deployment. As the Iran
War continues, a disturbing report about our sailors in the Middle East. From ABC News, this is Start Here. I'm Brad Milkey.
President Trump has met a lot of world leaders this week. That's what happens when the world comes to the United Nations and you're the US president. You can shake hands with as many of them as you want. But perhaps no meeting mattered more than this one yesterday in Washington. In a variety of ways, the US and China are on kind of a collision path. The US is used to being the world's dominant superpower, while China is ascendant. And whenever Chinese President Xi Jinping wants something, whether it's a Mega city built from scratch, or a larger military, or an entire AI industry, well, he's got a billion people at his disposal to make it happen. But while clear rivals, there's also a case to be made that these two countries' fates are intertwined.
They can make each other's lives easier or much, much harder. Which is why, when she made his way down a red carpet toward Washington yesterday for an official state visit, you could tell everyone had their Game faces on. Let's go straight to the West Wing now. ABC's Chief White House correspondent Mary Bruce is standing by. Mary, general vibes check. What was it like over there?
Uh a lot of pop and circumstance, Brad. I mean, the president really pulled out all of the stops to welcome Chinese President Xi. This was a lavish uh display from the Trump administration. There were troops on display, military jets flying overhead.
How did the summit address artificial intelligence and why is it a flashpoint between the U.S. and China?
Trump giving Xi a special tour of his White House renovations, eager to show off his new helipad. Trump telling reporters that she quote, loves good granite. The president even taking Xi Ontem-Marine One, the President piling on the praise from the start. And inside the White House, the president declared that he and the Chinese leader, quote, have forged a friendship, a truly great friendship. He said it was built on mutual respect and the vital interests of our people. But he did not mention the war with Iran and China's support for Iran as it targets American troops and allies in the war. Now, for his part, she called the interests of China and the US, quote, deeply intertwined, uh, adding that their competition, quote, should be a race of catching up with one another, not a wrestle in which one either wins or loses.
But this is the thing, is when it comes to the world of artificial intelligence, people increasingly say there is kind of one big winner and one bit. Like whoever's first to become like the dominant AI player is a winner. And so w did that end up being kind of one of the more heated discussions that was anticipated at least? And uh what what are the two sides thinking about?
Yeah, I mean the rapid growth of AI certainly is a critical issue for discussion here.
