Trump and Xi set for high-stakes AI showdown this September

I've always said that America's goal must be to dominate the future, and that includes being the number-one superpower in artificial intelligence. So important. And this is, I think, bigger than the — frankly, I think it's bigger than the Internet. It's bigger than anything anyone has seen thus far. Maybe someday there'll be something bigger than this. Probably will. But I think up until this point, AI is probably the biggest thing anybody has ever seen. And whoever wins that race is probably going to win, period. And again, we're leading China, and we want to keep it that way. President Xi is coming over on September 24th, and we talked about it when I was over in Beijing. And we'll be talking about it again. But he was very impressed with the job we've done, because ordinarily, you know, they don't have any problem with electric. They build a lot of electric. They don't do environmental impact statements. They just say, You want electric? We'll build it. They don't use too many windmills. They make the windmills, but they don't use them. They do it the old-fashioned way, in many ways. The United States never settles for second, and we don't under this administration. I can tell you that. You see that because we have the hottest country right now anywhere in the world. We live by the motto, America first. That's what's made us very strong. And we're leading China and all other countries by a lot in AI and just about every other category, including crypto. We want to stay in front in crypto. They'd love to take that over. So many other things they'd like to take over. They're highly competitive, if you haven't noticed.
