Trump argued that artificial intelligence and chip manufacturing are matters of national security rather than just economics. He warned that losing technological leadership could weaken the U.S. dollar and the country’s global power.

When asked about Changpeng Zhao, Trump said he didn’t know who he was but suggested the case was politically motivated, adding that “many good people advised pardoning him.”
