US and China discuss AI safety mechanism before Trump-Xi summit

US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent met Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng in New York on Sunday, discussing a new "notification mechanism" for AI incidents affecting national security. The talks, described as successful, also covered plans to operationalise a process for potential tariff cuts. They come ahead of a Trump-Xi summit in Washington this week and before a tariff truce expires on 10 November.
