During a speech to mark the unveiling of his new AI Action Plan, Donald Trump revealed that he suggested simply breaking up Nvidia, despite appearing to have never heard of the company or its CEO, Jensen Huang.
Trump made the remarks on stage at an AI summit in Washington, D.C., as he unveiled the United States’ new AI Action Plan.
The President made reference and gave thanks to some of AI’s top industry leaders, “And a very special thanks to some of the top industry leaders here, including somebody that’s amazing,” he said, alluding to Huang.
Dealing with Trump may be easy. Dealing with the United States of America with Trump controlling it is an entirely different matter. He has a lot of power (thanks Justice Roberts!).
People keep coming down hard on Universities and other entities “bending the knee”, but when you have the full weight and might of the federal government (which has effectively unlimited resources) fighting against you you don’t have many options. It’s a true existential crisis.
Trump is right (vomit) that tariffs tend to impact our trade partners more than than US since the US does import more than it exports. High tariffs are nothing to shrug off. Being locked out of the US market is a pretty big deal if you do business internationally.
