Washington, D.C. [US], July 24 (ANI): U.S. President Donald Trump has called on American tech giants to abandon “radical globalism” and stop building factories or hiring workers in foreign countries, including India. Speaking at the All-In Podcast and Hill & Valley Forum AI Summit in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday, Trump took aim at major firms such as Google, Meta, and Microsoft for outsourcing operations abroad.
“For too long, much of our tech industry pursued a radical globalism that left millions of Americans feeling distrustful and betrayed. And you know that,” Trump said. “Many of our largest tech companies have reaped the blessings of American freedom while building their factories in China, hiring workers in India, and slashing profits in Ireland. All the while, dismissing and even censoring their fellow citizens right here at home.”
The remarks came as Trump unveiled his administration’s new “AI Action Plan.” As part of the initiative, he signed three executive orders aimed at accelerating U.S. leadership in artificial intelligence: fast-tracking permits for AI infrastructure, enhancing exports of U.S.-developed AI, and banning federal procurement of AI systems with political or ideological bias.
“We want you to put America first. That’s all we ask,” Trump told U.S. tech companies. “We’re releasing the White House AI Action Plan. Big stuff.”
Trump emphasized the scale of upcoming investments in AI by American companies, noting that Meta, Amazon, Google, and Microsoft are projected to invest more than $320 billion in data centers and AI infrastructure this year. He also said Nvidia has committed $500 billion over the next four years.
“For decades, we had leaders who spent their time focused on building up foreign nations. Under the Trump administration, we are going to have leaders who are going to build up our nation,” he said. “This colossal investment in AI infrastructure—and many other industries such as automobiles—will also create thousands of great-paying jobs, including lots of blue-collar jobs.”
Trump criticized his predecessor, President Joe Biden, accusing him of hampering U.S. competitiveness with restrictive AI export policies.
“The last administration was obsessed with imposing restrictions on AI, including extreme restrictions on its exports,” Trump claimed. “This alienated American partners and drove even our friends into the arms of China and other countries.”
He said his administration had repealed the so-called “Biden diffusion rule,” which he alleged had crippled American AI exports.
“We created the digital age, and now we are leading the world into the golden age—indeed, the golden age of America,” Trump declared. “With your help, that golden age will be built by American workers. It will be powered by American energy. It will be run on American technology, improved by American artificial intelligence.”
