Washington Weekly Podcast: UN General Assembly, US-China summit

The Trump-Xi summit extended dialogue and an AI hotline but delivered little concrete policy substance, per UBS's government affairs advisor.

• Trump's UNGA speech: In a 40-minute address, Trump told Iran to "make a deal or face annihilation," continued tough talk on South American cartels, and rebranded AI as "SI" for superintelligence.
• Mixed reception: Reaction varied—Canada's Mark Carney reportedly scrolled his phone during the speech, seen as a sign of strained US-Canada relations.
