What did US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent say about the upcoming expiration of the US-China trade truce on November 10?

Bessent said the United States is open to either extending the US-China trade truce that expires on November 10 or considering a possibly larger trade deal, calling it 'a historic year' with up to four leader-level meetings and stating, 'We're fine with both, and we're going to do what's best for the American people.'

What was the outcome of the Bessent-He-Greer meeting regarding AI cooperation, and how did China respond?

The meeting resulted in an agreement to launch a communications 'hotline' for notifying each other about AI safety incidents, which Bessent characterized as 'successful'; however, China's state news agency Xinhua acknowledged only that the two sides discussed AI, and analysts noted expectations for AI cooperation are low due to lack of mutual trust and neither side expressing serious interest in slowing AI development.
