Trump rules out working with China on AI safety before tech CEO lunch

President Donald Trump declined to collaborate with China on AI governance, saying cooperation would let Beijing quickly acquire U.S. technological advantages. He made the statement before hosting a White House lunch for AI leaders, where guests included Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, Jensen Huang, and Dario Amodei. The meeting followed recent incidents of AI agents breaching systems, prompting calls for international safety rules that Trump rejected.
