Summary

President Donald Trump, speaking at the UN General Assembly, stood firm against international interference in artificial intelligence, vowing to protect U.S. technological leadership. He announced plans for a direct AI hotline with China, ensuring American interests remain paramount.

President Donald Trump delivered a powerful speech to the United Nations General Assembly, making it clear that the United States will not bow to globalist pressures to impose an international framework for regulating artificial intelligence, or 'superintelligence.' Trump reaffirmed America’s commitment to leading the world in this critical technology, far ahead of China and other competitors, and pledged to keep development under the vigilant watch of the Department of Justice to safeguard national interests.

'The United States also totally rejects any attempt to construct a globalist scheme to control for the artificial intelligence being spoken of so much now,' Trump declared, drawing a firm line against foreign meddling and bureaucratic overreach.

'Whoever wins AI, you have to remember this, and now I say whoever wins SI, whoever wins superintelligence, wins. That's the group that wins. We're leading now over China by a lot and everyone else. We're going to keep it that way.'

Trump emphasized that his administration would foster rapid growth in AI, recognizing its transformative power—potentially greater than the industrial revolution—while ensuring responsible oversight. In a strategic move, he announced that Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent would present an agreement to establish a direct communication line with China on AI-related issues, allowing both nations to address hacking, security threats, or rogue AI incidents without compromising American sovereignty.

This announcement comes ahead of Trump’s highly anticipated meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping, where a state dinner will bring together top tech executives from leading American companies like Nvidia, OpenAI, and Apple, underscoring the administration’s commitment to keeping America first in the race for technological supremacy.
