While broader structural issues like <strong>export controls<\/strong> and <strong>national security<\/strong> remain off the table for now, the administration plans to release full details of the negotiations on <strong>Monday<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>During the talks, <strong>President Trump<\/strong> noted that <strong>President Xi<\/strong> appeared receptive to his branding of <strong>Artificial Intelligence<\/strong> as <strong>&quot;Super Intelligence.&quot;<\/strong> Despite the friendly rhetoric, the two leaders remain at odds over AI regulation; <strong>Xi<\/strong> emphasized the necessity of keeping the technology under <strong>&quot;human control,&quot;<\/strong> while <strong>Trump<\/strong> has advocated for light regulation to ensure American dominance in the sector.<\/p>\n<h2>North American Relations: Canada Stalemate and Mexico Deficit<\/h2>\n<p>The <strong>United States<\/strong> is taking a bifurcated approach to its <strong>USMCA<\/strong> partners. <strong>Greer<\/strong> indicated that the administration is comfortable with the current status of relations with <strong>Canada<\/strong>, noting there is <strong>&quot;no urgency&quot;<\/strong> for a new deal. This stance is bolstered by the continued flow of critical resources\u2014specifically <strong>oil, gas, and potash<\/strong>\u2014from the north. The comments follow recent threats by <strong>Trump<\/strong> to source potash from <strong>Belarus<\/strong> to lower costs, a move that has pressured Canadian producers like <strong>Nutrien<\/strong> (<a href=\"\/stock\/NTR\">NTR<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>Conversely, talks with <strong>Mexico<\/strong> are being treated with higher priority. The US is actively negotiating to curb a widening trade deficit that <strong>Greer<\/strong> described as <strong>&quot;exploding.&quot;<\/strong> Recent discussions between <strong>Greer<\/strong> and Mexican officials have focused on increasing regional value content in electronics and automobiles to prevent <strong>China<\/strong> from using Mexico as a &quot;backdoor&quot; to the US market.<\/p>\n<h2>Global Security: Houthi Assurances and Japan Diplomacy<\/h2>\n<p>In a significant development for global shipping, the <strong>Financial Times<\/strong> reported that the <strong>Houthis<\/strong> have promised the <strong>European Union<\/strong> they will not target <strong>European-flagged vessels<\/strong> in the <strong>Red Sea<\/strong>. This diplomatic overture comes as the group seeks to isolate its conflict to <strong>Saudi Arabia<\/strong>. Meanwhile, <strong>US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent<\/strong> held an online talk with <strong>Japanese Finance Minister Satsuki Katayama<\/strong> to discuss currency stability and the &quot;orderly&quot; movement of the yen, which has faced significant volatility in recent months.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Key Takeaways US Trade Representative Jamieson
