President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping discussed artificial intelligence and Iran, among other topics, during the state visit that is wrapping up on Friday, according to circulating reports.
The president himself posted to Truth Social on Friday morning that it was a “very productive meeting.”
“Tremendous things will be happening. Like almost everyone else, he seemed to like calling the poorly and inaccurately named Artificial Intelligence to a far more accurate and important name, SUPER INTELLIGENCE,” Trump wrote.
“That would be ‘SUPER!’ Everyone last night agreed, also,” he continued.
On the conflict with Iran, the Chinese government has been heavily scrutinized for its role in aiding the Islamic Republic, which U.S. Ambassador to China David Purdue said was directly brought up by the president to Xi.
“President Trump made it very clear again yesterday,” Purdue told CNBC on Friday morning, saying that it was stated previously that any “direct or indirect” help is “totally unacceptable.”

"We've had a tremendous visit from two spectacular people, and we really enjoyed it — and I think we've made tremendous strides. We've made great strides. Very positive for both countries," the president said during a tea on Friday morning with the Chinese leader, calling the coverage on the visit "fair."
"I think our farmers are going to be very happy — a lot of very positive things happened," he added.
