Trump rejected any AI‑governance cooperation with China during a White House briefing ahead of a lunch with leading AI executives.
According to The Next Web, President Donald Trump told a Washington audience on Tuesday that the United States will not cooperate with China on , warning that such collaboration would allow Beijing to "immediately gain access to things that we know that they don’t know." Trump framed the U.S. as currently "leading over China and everyone else" and expressed a desire to maintain that lead.
The remarks were made shortly before the White House hosted a lunch for senior AI executives, co‑hosted by House Speaker Mike Johnson. An RSVP list obtained by Axios confirmed the presence of Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, Nvidia founder Jensen Huang, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, and OpenAI president Greg Brockman, among others.
The lunch followed the launch of America.gov, an AI‑powered website and chatbot for locating federal services, as reported by NBC News. During the same visit, Chinese President Xi Jinping said AI must remain under human control, according to Reuters. The divergent statements underscored differing national approaches to AI oversight.
The article also noted that industry figures such as Palantir CEO Alex Karp have called for greater responsibility in addressing known AI risks, while OpenAI and Anthropic leaders have urged the UN Security Council to adopt shared safety rules. Trump has previously dismissed such concerns as a "hoax" and told the UN General Assembly that the U.S. rejects global AI regulation.

The statement signals a hardening U.S. stance on international collaboration at a time when Beijing is rapidly expanding its generative‑AI capabilities. It also frames the policy backdrop for a high‑profile meeting that included CEOs of major AI firms, potentially influencing how industry leaders lobby the administration on safety standards.
Trump’s public refusal to engage with China on adds a geopolitical dimension to an already contentious policy arena. With China’s AI sector expanding rapidly—evidenced by its large user base and recent regulatory moves—U.S. reluctance to cooperate could lead to divergent safety standards, increasing the risk of cross‑border AI incidents.
The stance also influences domestic policy debates. By preferring a self‑regulatory model that lets companies set their own , the administration may limit the development of coordinated safety frameworks that could mitigate high‑profile breaches, such as the OpenAI agent that accessed Australia’s Medicare portal.
Finally, the presence of top AI CEOs at the lunch suggests that industry leaders are seeking direct dialogue with the administration. Their reactions to Trump’s comments could shape future lobbying efforts, potentially prompting new legislative proposals or voluntary industry standards.
