在美中两国元首即将于华盛顿举行高峰会前夕，美国财政部长贝森特与中国国务院副总理何立峰在纽约摩根大通总部会面，双方正式同意设立人工智慧（AI）对话机制，以因应失控AI代理人、网路威胁及生物武器等潜在风险，预计两个月后再次举行会议。（关键数字： two months）

在此次高层会谈中，双方虽讨论了延长贸易休战协议，但因在延期期限上存在分歧——美方提议延长六个月作为履约评估期，而中方希望延长至川普任期结束——且美方认为中国尚未完全履行在稀土供应方面的承诺，因此当天并未达成延长贸易休战的共识。

此外，美中双方正式落实了旨在挑选非敏感商品实施较低关税的贸易委员会机制，借此为双边经贸关系建立压舱石；同时，美方也对中国购买伊朗石油以及疑似向伊朗提供卫星影像等支援表达关切，并提议建立国家安全层面的AI事件通报机制以提升透明度。

Ahead of a high-stakes summit in Washington between Donald Trump and Xi Jinping, US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent met Chinese Vice-Premier He Lifeng at JPMorgan's headquarters in New York, where both sides agreed to establish an AI dialogue mechanism to address emerging risks such as uncontrolled AI agents, cyber threats, and biological weapons, with a follow-up meeting expected in two months.

During the talks, officials also discussed extending their trade war truce; however, no agreement was reached due to disputes over the extension length—with Washington proposing a six-month assessment period while Beijing favored an extension lasting through Trump's presidency—alongside US concerns that China had only fulfilled two-thirds of its rare earth supply commitments.

Additionally, both sides formalized a board of trade designed to identify non-sensitive goods eligible for lower tariffs to act as a stabilizing ballast in bilateral relations, while US officials raised concerns over Chinese support for Iran and proposed a notification mechanism for AI-related national security incidents to foster cross-border transparency.
