The announcement was made while Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent was reportedly discussing with Chinese counterparts in New York about establishing a mechanism for the two countries to alert each other about AI-related national security concerns. Trump also forcefully pushed back against calls for an AI slowdown, stating that the President provides the necessary control.
