US Needs To Double Down On AI Supremacy (From Townhall)

If the United States is going to have the golden age that President Trump has promised, it must win the gold medal in the race with China for AI supremacy. The consequences far surpass the 1960s race to the moon, as AI will be the driving force for economic and military leadership in the decades ahead.

With the unveiling of its low-cost, highly effective DeepSeek app, China landed a body blow against the United States in this competition, creating shock waves among some in the U.S. tech sector. Fortunately, President Trump and tech leaders kept this in proper perspective. The President referred to this as a “positive” and said it should be “a wakeup call for our industries that need to be laser-focused on competing to win.”
