Most of the discussion around America's AI strategy abroad has focused on the AI Action Plan - but perhaps more important was the Executive Order on exporting the AI stack.

The president also again said that the people who live in the Gaza Strip have a "genocide". "The tyranny of the veto sabotes the very reason why UN prevent atrocities from recurring," said the president.

On Tuesday, Trump declared economic war on countries that regulate its tech companies. It’s time for the world to break from the US and aggressively target Silicon Valley.
