Why it matters
AI safety is being folded into a broader trade and technology contest, so any joint plan is also a signal about how far the two economies will coordinate on chips, models and standards — and how much room that leaves for Europe.
Editor's note
All three items are wire reports; no joint statement text was reviewed, so the scope of any safety plan remains unconfirmed.
