The new “Stargate Project” by U.S. President Donald Trump, a $500 billion collaboration with Oracle, OpenAI and SoftBank, is a significant boost in America’s drive for AI infrastructure. It is regarded universally as a measured reaction to China’s rapid development in AI, heightening technological rivalry between the nations.
The re-election of Donald Trump has raised several debates on the future of U.S. trade policies, especially toward Asia. The proposed measures set by the administration are pointed toward sharp tariff increases on foreign imports, mainly targeting those originating from China. The hostile attitude of the administration toward China risks inflaming trade relations, destabilizing Asian economies and placing additional burdens on Asian American communities in the United States.
