Yesterday, we launched PAX SILICA, a partnership built for the AI age. This is the first time countries are organizing around compute, silicon, minerals and manufacturing as shared strategic assets. President Trump, Secretary Rubio and @davidsacks47 understood earlier than anyone that AI is the new backbone of economic power. This declaration operationalizes that insight. Building off of President Trump’s landmark AI Action Plan, this is American AI diplomacy at its best: building flexible coalitions, shaping markets, and putting AMERICA FIRST! 🇺🇸

At the Energy Imperatives Summit, @UnderSecE Helberg made the case: when an ally powers its compute with American nuclear energy, that’s an 80-year strategic partnership—not a transaction. The United States is leading the AI economy.

AI runs on compute. Compute runs on power. The Trump Administration is breaking down barriers to nuclear energy innovation at home and expanding American energy competitiveness abroad. The @StateDept is leading the export of American LNG & civil nuclear to build AI economies on trusted power. The country that powers the AI economy leads it.

Great catching up with HE Khaldoon Al Mubarak, on the occasion of the one-year anniversary of our historic U.S.-UAE AI Acceleration Partnership. The UAE has become a comprehensive technology partner of choice, and a true friend and ally, of the United States. 🇺🇸 🇦🇪

Welcome to the team, Wes!

The United States is a global leader on AI -@SecRubio

Le @UnderSecE Jacob Helberg sur l'IA : « Concernant le débat sur l’avenir du travail, il suffit de se tourner vers l’histoire. Lors de la révolution informatique, certaines personnes disaient que les ordinateurs personnels mettraient au chômage de nombreuses secrétaires. En réalité, la révolution du PC a donné naissance à l’industrie du logiciel. Cette révolution a déplacé 3,5 millions d’emplois, mais en a surtout créé 19 millions aux États-Unis. »

Great meeting with Philippine Foreign Affairs Secretary @SecLazaro and Ambassador Babe Romualdez. Our Pax Silica partnership is built on 80 years of U.S.-Philippines friendship —and we're just getting started.

HE Khaldoon Al Mubarak sat down with @UnderSecE @jacobhelberg to discuss the UAE-US economic and tech partnership, AI infrastructure investment and the UAE's role in the US-led Pax Silica initiative.

SECRETARY RUBIO: "One of the things you'll find pretty consistently in every totalitarian system is that they want to control the ability of their citizens to communicate with one another."

One of Lee Kuan Yew’s most consequential decisions was to keep Common Law out of sheer pragmatism. It forces political discipline and restraint, and restraint is what persuades the world's capital to come pouring in and stay.

We are working on a number of arrangements with the EU: a trade deal, an MoU on critical minerals that we've signed, and Pax Silica, which will bring the EU into the AI economy. Under President Trump's administration, what he's accomplished with Europe—5% defense spending, the trade deal, critical minerals, AI—is significant. People talk about contracting the US-EU relationship, but we are expanding it.

SECRETARY RUBIO on American AI dominance, Pax Silica, and the importance of allies and ecosystems.

Today @POTUS signed an EO that keeps America leading in AI while putting frontier AI capabilities to work strengthening our cyber defenses. AI systems are now the most powerful tools we have ever had to harden our cyber infrastructure and stay ahead of adversaries. It is a real blessing that these capabilities are being developed by American industry, and not by those who would use them against us. whitehouse.gov/presidential-…

Secretary Bessent will go down in history as one the most transformative Treasury Secretaries in our nation’s history.

.@SecRubio: "We remain the world’s sole global superpower—the most powerful country on earth. We have the largest economy, we have the most formidable and powerful military ever known to man, by the way. Our dollar remains that reserve currency of the world. Our language is used extensively throughout the world... but all of this means very little if that power is not used to protect the people who built it."
