AI is redrawing the map of global power. At @reindsummit, I made the case for Pax Silica: securing minerals, chips, energy, and compute AI runs on. The nations that control the physical foundation of AI will set the terms of the next century. Free nations must be the ones who do.

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

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.
