President Trump calls the TikTok-China deal ‘very vital’
On Monday, US President Donald Trump emphasized the urgent need to enhance independent production of critical minerals. Trump stated that the agreement with China was essential regarding TikTok. “Well, it’s very necessary.” In the past, we had the freedom to travel to other countries and purchase whatever we desired. However, now it seems that if those countries are deemed hostile, our options are restricted. It is worth noting that China has not been categorized as such, and we have established agreements with them. It has been confirmed that the TikTok deal has received approval. Many claimed that the TikTok deal would never receive approval. “They approved it, and we have great people buying it, American, big, strong American companies are buying it, the most prestigious companies there are, actually, and they’re going to make sure everything’s good,” he said.
Trump remarked that while Chinese President Xi Jinping is not antagonistic, it is beneficial to possess one’s own minerals. “President Xi was great.” It received his approval. “So I’m not saying hostile, but it’s good to have our own minerals,” he said. In approving the Ambler Road Project to unlock Alaska’s mineral potential, Trump stated that it would generate several dollars worth of wealth. “And you know, we created tremendous value by creating a road.” We constructed a road that only we are capable of building because we possess the right to do so, first and foremost, and we have the authority to execute it. Thus, we construct a road that spans more than 200 miles through a remarkably beautiful region of the world. Indeed, it is remarkable; when you examine it closely, it truly is astonishing, yet it presents challenges from the perspective of construction. By completing a road, we unlock billions and billions of dollars in wealth. “It’s pretty amazing, when you think of it, and its wealth that we need if we’re going to be the number one country,” he said.
Trump further praised the ascent of American supremacy in the realm of AI. He stated, “You know, we’re number one now with AI.” It is likely you have come across reports stating that we are surpassing all expectations with AI capabilities that were once deemed unimaginable. One of the reasons we are is due to energy. Our grid is aged and weary, much like many grids tend to become over time. As you age, the grid ages alongside you, correct? “But I’ve allowed the people building AI or other plants, other types of plants, but AI in particular, because they need so much electricity, I’ve allowed them to build their own power, and it’s been amazing,” he said. “They’re constructing large facilities, and alongside these facilities, they’re generating their own electricity.” They have, in a manner of speaking, transformed into a utility. I suggested that perhaps you might find more success with the utility than with the AI; I’m uncertain. However, we are allowing them to generate their own electricity, alleviating our concerns regarding the grid. There is no need for concern. They will construct it in a manner that allows any excess capacity to be returned to the grid. It is quite remarkable. Thus, as they proceed with construction, we are granting them the necessary permits to establish their own electric power plants. It is truly remarkable to witness their actions.
As a result of efforts and various initiatives, we are at the forefront, outpacing every other nation; no one is even near our level in AI. AI appears to be the prominent topic of discussion. I am uncertain. It is difficult to assert that numerous individuals are constructing and that many are experiencing elevated stock prices due to AI. Many individuals believe it to be excellent material. “And I think it’s great stuff,” he added. Trump further stated that he was contemplating the potential of AI in the medical field, which could potentially reduce medication costs. “I look at it; it’s remarkable what it can achieve regarding medical costs and knowledge. It’s fundamentally information, and information at a level that nobody thought possible before.” We shall observe the outcome. However, they are constructing facilities in the locations where you observed the overlay that I previously wore. In this instance, it pertains to the concept of meta. One of their plants is essentially the size, nearly the size of Manhattan, and that’s a building, you know? It’s a structure that encompasses Manhattan, making it significant, and no one is even near our level. “We’re leading AI by so much,” he said.
