Her choice of attire drew criticism from social media users who called her outfit inappropriate, while Melania Trump and Ivanka Trump wore more subdued outfits by Dolce & Gabbana and Saint Laurent, respectively. This incident is part of a pattern for Sánchez Bezos, who has faced controversy for her fashion choices at previous White House events.

Story summary

The summit between US President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping on September 24 focused largely on AI regulation amid escalating tensions over advancements in artificial intelligence technology. The meeting aimed to address mutual concerns about the risks associated with rapid AI development but ended with both sides maintaining their positions, despite attempts by China's Foreign Minister Wang Yi to emphasize "equality" and "reciprocity." Chinese state media highlighted the high-level reception Xi received at the White House as a sign of equality between the two nations, while US officials viewed reciprocity more transactionally. This divergence in interpretation has led to skepticism about whether genuine progress was made regarding AI guardrails or broader diplomatic cooperation.
