Log: Right? This could ease some of the trade tensions a bit.
Chako: And they’re starting AI dialogues too! What does that mean?

Admin’s Note

I feel that the agreement to reduce tariffs between the U.S. and China, amounting to $30 billion, is an important step toward promoting economic exchange. In particular, the introduction of AI dialogue is expected to contribute to improving relations in the future. As Chako raised a question, we need to keep an eye on future developments to see whether relations will actually improve. I hope that both countries can build a cooperative relationship by overcoming issues related to trade and security.
