Washington, D.C.
Today, 35 nations signed the Joint Statement on AI Opportunity, aligning behind a PRO-GROWTH, PRO-INNOVATION regulatory approach for the AI era. A commitment to trusted supply chains, to mobilizing the private sector, and the infrastructure that will power the next century. The future of AI will not be determined by who regulates first. It will be determined by who builds first and builds the most capacity. More energy. More compute. More chips. More talent. More builders. A future where we ACCELERATE INNOVATION AND PRIVATE INVESTMENT is welcomed. Together, we aspire to build an AI future that serves our peoples, strengthens our economies, and empowers entrepreneurship, innovation, and the rule of law.

Just touched down in Japan. Looking forward to meeting friends and colleagues in the Takaichi government and Japanese CEOs. Japan’s industrial AI ambitions complement American AI leadership. Together, we can turn innovation into opportunity for people in both nations. 🇺🇸 🇯🇵

Great to meet with Investment and Downstreaming Minister Rosan Roeslani, House Commission Vice Chairman Budisatrio Djiwandono, Vice Foreign Minister Arif Havas Oegroseno, and Sir Tony Blair in Jakarta, Indonesia. We discussed Danantara’s investment strategy, Indonesia’s economic development plan, and its industrial and technology ambitions—including plans for a predictable, pro-growth policy environment for American investors. Giving businesses the confidence to invest for the long term is how we turn ambition into lasting opportunity for people in both our countries.

The flow of global capital tells a powerful story about confidence in America’s future. Great conversation with CEO Dilhan Pillay on Singapore’s role in connecting global capital to American innovation. Temasek’s U.S. investments have grown fivefold, with half its annual investment capital now going to America. Temasek remains a leading U.S. partner shaping American technological leadership and Singapore’s long-term economic prosperity.

The decisions we make on Super Intelligence today will shape future generations. History shows that during technological paradigm shifts, early adopters surge ahead. Singapore is moving early. Singapore joined Pax Silica, the trusted coalition building our tech future, and signed new MOUs with U.S. companies to bring Super Intelligence to solve real business problems across Southeast Asia. We welcome Singapore’s close work with American firms to deploy SI for public services, develop security standards for agentic models, and create an application-layer ecosystem that builds on U.S. frontier models.

A country that cannot build cannot lead. President Trump understands that economic security is national security. Proud to serve as we bring production home, secure our supply chains, and ensure the next industrial revolution is built by American workers. AMERICA FIRST!

Technology needs infrastructure. From ports and rail in Angola and the DRC to rare earths in Madagascar and mobile networks in West Africa, the United States and African partners are building together, creating jobs in Africa and strengthening U.S. industries at home.
Les ingénieurs et les entrepreneurs africains n’attendent pas que l’avenir se dessine ; ils sont déjà en train de le façonner. Les innovateurs africains apportent leur talent, leurs idées et une connaissance approfondie des marchés locaux. La technologie américaine offre une base sécurisée et fiable sur laquelle s’appuyer. Ensemble, ils créent des entreprises construites en Afrique, détenues par des Africains et qui génèrent des emplois sur place, fournissant de meilleurs outils aux médecins, de meilleures informations aux agriculteurs et de nouveaux clients aux petites entreprises. C'est une technologie au service des gens. @UnderSecE @EconAtState

Thanks to technology, a nation’s potential is increasingly not capped by its population. Singapore has long exemplified this. Great to catch up with my friend, Singaporean Minister Josephine Teo. We discussed advancing U.S.–Singapore cooperation on SI security, trusted technology, and delivering concrete results through Pax Silica.

I’m proud to welcome Paraguay as the 26th partner to join the Pax Silica Initiative. The United States is growing a trusted coalition to build the chips, power the SI, and secure the technologies that will define the future. Paraguay is bringing critical minerals and hydropower resources for building SI infrastructure in the Americas. Together through Pax Silica, we're delivering prosperity for both nations.

Blueprints don’t build ships. People do. Danish maritime know-how + American welders, electricians, and shipfitters = skilled, well-paid jobs in American shipyards. 🇺🇸🇩🇰
American shipyards need skilled hands, capital, and speed. Today, Danish Foreign Minister @larsloekke and I signed a U.S.-Denmark maritime cooperation MOU to deliver all three: faster training, Danish investment, and quicker, cheaper builds and repairs. More jobs for American workers, resilient supply chains, and a stronger U.S. maritime industrial base. Under @POTUS, America is building ships again!
