President Donald Trump arrived in Beijing for a highly anticipated summit with Chinese President Xi Jinping this week.
I was one of the few Americans in the room in Sunnylands, when former President Barack Obama and Xi rolled up their sleeves in June 2013. It was a rare moment for a real, substantive, and fairly unscripted conversation about some of the most significant issues in the relationship. Most summits are long on formalities and short on substance.
So, what will Trump actually leave the summit with?

the fyp ate the follower and changed the way marketing works. brands used to have to grow a following for their content to be seen. now recommendation-based feeds do the work for them. when posting feels like a slot machine, of course brands will pull as many levers as possible.

Good piece by @LianaFix and Ben Harris on Hungary's election, especially as Orbán concedes — ousting him is the easy part, but his "16 years of supermajority rule has enabled him to substantially alter the constitution"

Fascinating media deal. Seems like it would present an immediate problem with guest booking and advertising - if you compete with OpenAI, why would you boost a competitor…
TBPN will remain an independent platform for founders to share news, launch products, and interact with the most engaged audience in tech.
We’ll maintain full editorial control while working with OpenAI to scale the show’s reach and production.
See you at 11a PT, every weekday.

Iran got more sanctions relief from closing the Strait of Hormuz for a couple weeks than it got from all the nuclear concessions it made in the JCPOA

🚨U.S. to allow Iran to get ~14 billion dollars (!!!) in oil revenue
🚨This is a huge financial concession to Iran by the U.S.
🚨It is the first time U.S. is buying Iranian oil since 1996
🚨It's all happening in the middle of a war against...Iran

Has any tweet aged better than this one? It’s basically the defining ethos of the entire last decade. By some objective measure, it might be the best tweet of all time.

This is a man who has been haunted since childhood and built a billion dollar company as a side effect of trying to make the haunting stop.
