Moreover, there are evidence of cases that - that I’ve made all along: The United States will continue to compete vigorously with the PRC. These are tangible steps in the right direction to determine what’s useful and what’s not useful, what’s dangerous and what’s acceptable. As many of you who travel with me around the world almost everywhere I go - every major leader wants to talk about the impact of artificial intelligence. And so, I think we made real progress there as well.Īnd thirdly, we’re going to get our experts together to discuss risk and safety issues associated with artificial intelligence. ![]() Vital miscalculations on either side can - are - can cause real, real trouble with a - with a country like China or any other major country. So, we’re back to direct, open, clear, direct communications on a - on a ba- on a direct basis. That’s how accidents happen: misunderstandings. As a lot of you press know who follow this, that’s been cut off, and it’s been worri- worrisome. Secondly, and this is critically important, we are reassuming military-to-military contact - direct contacts. I also want to thank the bipartisan congressional delegation to China, led by Leader Schumer, in October for supporting efforts - this effort so strongly.

More people in the United States between the ages of 18 to 49 die from fentanyl than from guns, car accidents, or any other cause. And, by the way, some of these pills are being inserted in other drugs, like cocaine, and a lot of people are dying. But in the years since that time, the challenge has evolved from finished fentanyl to fentanyl chemical ingredients and - and pill presses, which are being shipped without controls. In 2019, you may remember, China took action to greatly reduce the amount of fentanyl shipped directly from China to the United States. And today, built on the groundwork we laid over the past several months of high-level diplomacy between our teams, we’ve made some important progress, I believe.įirst, I am pleased to announce that after many years of being on hold, we are restarting cooperation between the United States and the PRC on counternarcotics. ![]() We haven’t always agreed, but they’ve been straightforward. Our meetings have always been candid and straightforward. I’ve been meeting with President Xi since both of us were vice president over 10 years ago. As you know, I just concluded several hours of meetings with President Xi, and I believe they were some of the most constructive and productive discussions we’ve had. THE PRESIDENT: I didn’t know there were this many people in town.
