Trump said U.S.-China trade deal was ‘done’

<span>
After two days of talks in London, President Trump said yesterday that the U.S. and China had struck a deal to
</span>
<a class="css-sdwaa1" style="color:#286ed0;-webkit-text-decoration:underline;text-decoration:underline">
roll back some of the punitive measures
</a>
<span>
they had taken against each other’s economies in recent months.
</span>
</p>
<p style="font:normal 17px/25px georgia,serif;color:#333;margin:0 0 15px">
<span>
Under the agreement, China would relax its restrictions on shipments of rare earth minerals and magnets that are critical for some U.S. manufacturers. In return, the U.S. would not impose visa restrictions on Chinese students and would relax limits it had placed on some U.S. exports. The full details of the agreement were not immediately released.

<p style="font:normal 17px/25px georgia,serif;color:#333;margin:0 0 15px">
<span>
“Our deal with China is done, subject to final approval with President Xi and me,” Trump wrote on social media, in all capital letters. “Relationship is excellent!”

Context:
</span>
<span>
Economic tensions between the U.S. and China spiraled after Trump announced expansive tariffs in April. The escalation threatened businesses in both countries and raised the risk of empty shelves in American stores later this year.

Tariffs:
</span>
<span>
The levies between the two countries will remain unchanged, and a 90-day pause in implementing some of the tariffs will expire in August. The U.S. trade representative said that the two sides would remain in contact but that another meeting had not yet been scheduled.

Analysis:
</span>
<span>
“From what we know of the agreement, it appears to merely unwind the damage and escalation from the president’s own trade war,” my colleague Ana Swanson, who covers trade and international economics, told me. “They haven’t yet made any progress toward a new trade deal.”

Tensions have flared over the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown, as hundreds of protesters marched in places like San Antonio; Raleigh, N.C.; St. Louis; and New York. Earlier in the day, leaders of dozens of Californian cities, including Los Angeles, urged an end to the federal immigration sweeps that have disrupted many regions in the state.

This A.I. company wants to take your job
</span>
</h2>
<p style="font:normal 17px/25px georgia,serif;color:#333;margin:0 0 15px">
<span>
Years ago, most tech executives had the decency to lie about efforts to replace workers with artificial intelligence. That is starting to change: An A.I. startup from San Francisco called Mechanize has the audacious, public goal of automating white-collar jobs as fast as possible.
</span>
</p>
<p style="font:normal 17px/25px georgia,serif;color:#333;margin:0 0 15px">
<span>
Mechanize’s approach is based on reinforcement learning — the same method used to train a computer to play the board game Go nearly a decade ago. Because most jobs involve doing more than one task, the company created training environments for its A.I. models — essentially elaborate tests used to teach them what to do in a given scenario.
</span>
</p>
<p style="font:normal 17px/25px georgia,serif;color:#333;margin:0 0 15px">
<span>
Don’t panic just yet. The company’s founders say it will take 10 to 30 years before A.I. comes for our jobs.
