Earlier that day, Trump and six executives from Google, Anthropic, Meta, OpenAI, Nvidia and xAI signed a voluntary White House accord on superintelligence. Asked whether the accord was binding, Trump said: "I think it's morally binding."
“We're also thinking about forming a committee of sorts, where we put maybe 10 people on that committee”
Trump said the committee could be drawn from the executives at the lunch and would "watch over the whole enterprise." He did not say who would sit on it or whether its decisions would be binding.
“I think our farmers are going to be very happy — a lot of very positive things happened… Great things for both countries.”
Xi's state visit to Washington ran Sep 23–25. The White House release on the visit gave no terms for a new trade agreement; Bessent had said on Sep 23 that the trade truce would be extended to Jan 10.
What followed: On Sep 27, 2026, USTR announced that the U.S.-China Board of Trade had recommended $30 billion of trade in non-sensitive goods on each side for possible more favorable tariff treatment. (Office of the U.S. Trade Representative)

“…should be 1%, or less, because we are the Best Credit in the World — BY FAR.”
CNBC quotes the post as saying U.S. interest rates "should be 1%, or less." It came hours after the Fed raised rates to 3.75%–4.00%. Later that day Trump told reporters he still had confidence in Warsh and had told him, "You might as well vote with the board."
“It's the oil of the next 20, 25 years, it's bigger than the internet and AI, you know, much more so”
Trump called Huang while Huang was being interviewed on stage and spoke about data centers and AI. Two days earlier, Amodei, Altman and Musk had publicly backed slowing AI capability gains.
“The robots will not be taking over. The AI will not be taking over the rest of the world. The whole thing is a hoax”
Trump made the remark during the same call in which he described data centers as "the oil of the next 20, 25 years." Two days earlier, Amodei, Altman and Musk had publicly backed slowing AI capability gains.
“LOWER THE RATE OR I'LL STOP TRADING WITH COUNTRIES WITH WHICH WE HAVE A DEFICIT, which the U.S. Supreme Court, in its ridiculous and very costly Tariff decision, strongly acknowledged "the President" has an absolute right to do.”
The post followed the August jobs report, which showed 162,000 jobs added. Later that day in the Oval Office, Trump said the U.S. "should be at 1 percent or a half a percent."
