Trump, AI Tech Leaders Promise to be Responsible

pgnewser October 3, 2026 0

President Trump held an AI summit at the White House where he and tech leaders from Elon Musk to Mark Zuckerberg agreed to self-govern their roll-out of AI.

The President has held that holding back AI will allow China to dominate us, and that includes militarily. The move appears intended to ward off any legislative efforts to limit AI. House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-AR) appeared to cosign the agreement, claiming “The super intelligence providers are committed to building trust as they help us build the future.”

President Donald Trump and some of the world’s most prominent technology executives signed the White House Accord on Super Intelligence on Tuesday, establishing voluntary standards aimed at oversight, transparency and accountability as the industry rapidly develops advanced technology.

The agreement came the same day Trump signed an executive order officially rebranding artificial intelligence as “Super Intelligence.”

House Speaker Mike Johnson unveiled the accord outside the West Wing alongside executives including xAI’s Elon Musk, Meta’s Mark Zuckerberg, Anthropic’s Dario Amodei and Nvidia’s Jensen Huang. The announcement followed a private luncheon attended by Trump, Johnson, Cabinet officials and technology leaders.

“The super intelligence providers are committed to building trust as they help us build the future,” Johnson said, adding that the executives were prepared to “take accountability and ownership.”

Johnson described the agreement as a voluntary statement of principles establishing expectations for “robust internal controls and layers of internal and external review.” He said Congress and the White House would continue working to guide the industry’s development in a safe manner.

Trump compared the accord to a constitution and praised the executives for coming together.

“They love our country, they love the world,” Trump said. “And they came together, and they did something … it’s almost like a constitution in a way.”

Trump-Xi Meeting Produces Little Movement

China might win some relief from Trump’s tariffs after President Trump met with Chairman Xi at the White House. The state visit produced little significant results outside of a promise to reduce tariffs on both sides and the President allegedly offering to sell arms to China. The President also made it clear to Xi that China should not attempt to help Iran, though no clear consequence was offered should China do so.

An attack on a UK Airbase that also hosts American forces was stopped by British authorities. Five Islamist men were arrested and promptly released on bail. Now, the U.S. and the UK are claiming Iran is behind the attacks. Given Iran’s promise to attack British airbases, it is no surprise such a deduction was made. The President has called the UK’s handling of this attack inadequate.

An Islamist attempted to hijack a plane and fly it into Israel. He was the co-pilot of a FlyDubai flight. He stabbed his co-pilot multiple times but was detained by Israelis while the plane was still in a nose-dive. The media reported this as a dispute between the two pilots, protecting the “Islam is the religion of peace” narrative. It has since come out he was an Islamist intending on murdering Israelis by crashing their plane in Israel.

And the remaining 2,500 troops have now left the territory, giving some hope to Iraqis.

But security experts warn that the withdrawal could give Iran and its allies free rein, while also allowing a comeback for ISIS.

“Iran stands to benefit strategically from the coalition’s departure because it removes a military presence that for years acted as a counterweight to Iran’s influence in Iraq,” said Jasim al-Bahadli, an Iraqi security analyst.

All but one of Minnesota’s U.S. district justices received a judicial misconduct complaint from the Department of Justice. AG Todd Blanche filed the complaints after the justices allegedly violated ethical standards by talking about ongoing immigration cases with the press.

Blanche declared, “Seven federal judges in the District of Minnesota talked to the New York Times about cases, some of which are on-going, in a manner that the Department of Justice views as a clear violation of their ethical duties. Their conduct has undermined public confidence in an impartial judiciary in Minnesota.”

EXCERPT:

Senate Democrats on Wednesday blocked legislation that would have banned members of Congress from trading stocks while also imposing a voter identification requirement.

The Senate voted 53-47 along party lines, leaving the “Stop Insider Trading Act” seven votes short of the 60 needed to advance.

The House had previously approved the legislation with support from Republicans and 13 Democrats. Wednesday’s Senate vote effectively ends the measure’s chances of reaching President Donald Trump’s desk before the Nov. 3 midterm elections.

While the legislation sought to prohibit lawmakers from trading individual stocks, Democratic opposition centered largely on Republicans’ inclusion of a voter ID provision.

Republicans have separately sought passage of the SAVE America Act, legislation that would establish voter identification requirements. Democratic opposition has prevented that measure from advancing, prompting Republicans to attach voter ID provisions to other legislation.

The Senate vote puts Democrats on record opposing a measure that combined two priorities Republicans have promoted ahead of the midterms: restricting congressional stock trading and strengthening identification requirements for voting.

The House’s passage of the legislation, including votes from 13 Democrats, demonstrated some bipartisan support for banning congressional stock trading. But the addition of the voter ID provision helped ensure the legislation could not secure the Democratic votes necessary to overcome the Senate’s 60-vote threshold.

EXCERPT:

U.S. President Donald Trump’s war of words with Canada continued Wednesday as he veered off a prepared script at an event marking Hispanic Heritage Month in the States to chastise Canadian leaders for being what he called “very bad.”

Speaking at the White House, Trump said the U.S. was “stupidly run” before he got the job because past leaders allowed automakers to move assembly plants offshore, including to Canada.

Canada has had a large-scale domestic auto manufacturing industry since 1904, developing at roughly the same time as the one in the U.S.

Still, Trump said past presidents “allowed other countries to make our cars and sell them to us,” and he is ending that now with his high-tariff regime. The Trump administration has repeatedly made it clear that it wants to hollow out Canada’s auto industry.

“Canada has taken advantage of us for so many years. The worst of any country,” Trump said.

EXCERPT:

Jack Smith, the Biden regime’s former special counsel, is back in the news with his testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Tuesday. The Oversight Project has uncovered new records that don’t focus on the settled question of why Smith used federal power to target political enemies, but instead on how he was able to do it.

Understanding the “how” is more important at this stage. We all know why the weaponization of the Biden years happened. It happened because they wanted to extinguish a political movement so that people from around the country could never truly shake up Washington, D.C., again.

For those who believe Smith’s investigation crossed the line from legitimate law enforcement into political targeting, that broader reach is the central issue.

We also know why it can happen again if Democrats take back power.

In Democrats’ minds, they have unfinished business. They regard Donald Trump and his supporters as too great a threat to stop short the next time. That makes it essential to understand how the weaponization of government happened, how it could happen again, and what reforms are needed now to prevent a repeat.

Instead, systemic reform has largely fallen by the wayside, replaced by political declarations that government weaponization has been solved once and for all.

With few signs of meaningful accountability, the need for concrete action is urgent.

January 6 gave Democrats the justification they needed to discard restraint and use the powers of federal law enforcement against their political opponents. That effort did not stop with President Trump. It extended to his supporters, especially those who challenged the conduct of the 2020 election or became prominent figures in the broader America First movement.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Monday that a “foreign actor” was involved in a thwarted plot near a British military base used by U.S. forces, warning that threats against American interests will carry consequences.

“What happened, what almost happened, what could have happened in the U.K. over the weekend is a very serious situation,” Rubio told Fox News’ “Hannity.” “It’s one that clearly involves the hands of a foreign actor.”

Rubio declined to identify the foreign actor but pointed to Iran as an example of a country that has threatened American interests around the world.

“We’re going to always take that very seriously,” Rubio said. “There will be repercussions for that, if it ever were to happen or even attempted.”

British police arrested five men early Sunday after authorities were alerted to three large white vans parked near RAF Fairford in western England. The base is operated by Britain’s Royal Air Force and used by the U.S. military.

All five suspects, British nationals in their early 20s from London, were released on bail Monday as authorities continued investigating whether people acting on behalf of a foreign state were involved.

President Donald Trump said Monday that the incident “might be” connected to Iran and criticized the decision to release the suspects.

“I wouldn’t have done that,” Trump said.

EXCERPT:

The United States is implementing a ban on nearly $1bn in imports from Canada, including alcoholic beverages, dairy products and motorcycles.

The ban took effect early Tuesday and is likely to further strain already-tense relations between the two neighbours.

Ottawa and Washington DC have long been allies and trade partners, with approximately $880bn worth of annual two-way trade. That relationship has been upended during US President Donald Trump’s second term as he unleashed tariffs on most trading partners, including Canada, and referred to the northern neighbour as the 51st state of the US.

Most recently, the US slapped 50 percent levies on Canadian goods worth $20bn, including dairy and motorcycles, on August 22 after trade negotiations failed. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney retaliated, saying Ottawa will match US tariffs “dollar for dollar in order to protect Canadian workers, farmers, families and businesses”. Canada levied tariffs of 15 percent, 25 percent and 50 percent on US exports of a similar value.

Tuesday’s ban was Trump’s punishment for Canada’s retaliatory tariffs.

“The impact of such a ban will be minor, it is only $1bn while we trade hundreds of billions with Canada,” Professor Gary Shields at Wayne State University’s School of Business told Al Jazeera. “It is, however, rather astonishing how President Trump treats our allies in Canada and Europe, while rolling out the red carpet for China’s dictator when he visited the US last week”.

KYIV, Ukraine — Russia’s new class of jet-powered drones rip across the night sky in Kyiv at hundreds of kilometers per hour, leaving Ukrainian air-defense units only moments to intercept them. It’s rarely enough time.

With many of the drones getting through to the capital, defense manufacturers are scrambling to develop a new generation of interceptors to counter the deadly threat. They are building their own jet-propulsion systems and training artificial intelligence to help guide the chase.

They need to move fast because the Russian drones are driving a new tactic, ramped up in recent weeks, to hit the infrastructure keeping Ukraine’s war-battered economy afloat. Recent targets have included energy systems, key industries, railways, post offices, shopping centers, telecom networks, gas stations and grain exports.

Russia also has an advantage with its ballistic missile arsenal, which poses another challenge as Ukraine runs low on interceptor missiles.

The effects of the barrage are being felt in Kyiv, which increasingly resembles a front-line city, without the relative safety that had long set it apart from the fighting. Food supplies have been disrupted, explosions echo day and night, and residents scramble for cover from strikes that reach closer to the city center.

Ukrainian officials say they are testing new interceptors that have successfully hit jet-powered Russian drones, which fly much higher and faster than propeller-driven drones and are much harder to stop.

“They’re moving so fast that we can’t get a proper lock on them,” said Volodymyr Serdiuk, commander of an air-defense unit.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and his cabinet have declared CAIR, the Muslim Brotherhood, and Antifa as terrorist groups, along with a host of others, under a new law that took effect over the summer.

From CBS News:

DeSantis, Florida Cabinet designate more than 90 groups as terrorist organizations

Gov. Ron DeSantis and the Florida Cabinet on Tuesday voted to designate more than 90 groups as terrorist organizations, and a legal challenge is already in the works seeking to block the move.

With little comment from the state panel and no public testimony, the Cabinet voted to apply domestic or foreign terrorist designations to a series of groups, including the Council on American-Islamic Relations, the Muslim Brotherhood and antifa.

The designations will also apply to more than 90 organizations already listed as foreign terrorist organizations by the U.S. government, including the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua, two Mexican drug cartels and Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.

Under a new law, HB 1471, that took effect July 1, CAIR filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Florida in Tallahassee, contending that DeSantis is violating the First Amendment and the due process clause of the 14th Amendment.

Hina Shamsi, director of the ACLU National Security Project, said attorneys intend to file a motion Thursday on behalf of CAIR-Florida seeking a preliminary injunction against the designation.

“There is nowhere in that notice any allegation or evidence that CAIR has engaged in any violent or dangerous act in violation of Florida or U.S. law,” Shamsi said Tuesday outside the Cabinet meeting. “And that’s the first requirement for something as serious as this.”

The Federal Reserve‘s Inspector General on Wednesday said it found no grounds for a criminal referral or evidence of administrative misconduct tied to cost overruns in a US central bank renovation project.

However, its conclusion there was lax oversight drew a fresh call from President Donald Trump for former Federal Reserve chief Jerome Powell‘s resignation.

The Fed watchdog’s report highlighted extensive problems with project oversight that contributed to a roughly $1 billion cost overrun for the renovation of the central bank‘s two historic buildings on the National Mall in Washington.

Trump had latched onto the cost overrun on the project, which now has a price tag of about $2.4 billion, in his effort to engineer Powell’s ouster and gain influence over the direction of monetary policy. Trump also is trying to sack Fed Governor Lisa Cook over alleged wrongdoing in an unrelated matter.

The IG’s report noted that “at no point during our evaluation did we find reasonable grounds to believe that a violation of federal criminal law had occurred requiring a referral to the US attorney general.”

British security officials warned that a Chinese research body is funding academic work that aids Beijing’s spy agency.

Britain’s MI5 security service on Wednesday named the China General Technology Research Institute (CGTRI) as a funder of work by more than 100 academics based in the UK, including artificial intelligence research, according to an espionage alert the agency published. The service said CGTRI is closely tied to China’s civilian spy agency — the Ministry of State Security (MSS) — and exists mainly to bankroll research that sharpens that agency’s technical tools.

“MI5 has identified that the primary purpose of CGTRI is to fund academic research that directly improves MSS technical capability for espionage,” the alert stated in part.

U.K. academics have contributed to CGTRI-funded projects on AI, cybersecurity, covert communications systems and steganography, according to the MI5 alert. The agency said some universities and researchers likely did not know CGTRI’s link to Chinese intelligence when they took the money, Reuters reported.

EXCERPT:

Texas Senate candidate James Talarico refused to support a 2019 Texas bill that would stop infanticide.

He refused to vote for legislation that required doctors to give life-saving medical care to infants born alive after an abortion, a measure pro-life lawmakers said was necessary to stop infanticide.

Talarico, then representing Round Rock and now the Democrat nominee for U.S. Senate, recorded his vote as “present, not voting” on House Bill 16, the Texas Born-Alive Infant Protection Act. He did not vote yes to mandate that physicians treat a child who survives an abortion the same way they would treat any other infant born at the same gestational age.

Texas Right to Life gave Talarico a 0 percent pro-life score for the 86th Legislative Session. The group cited his present-not-voting stance on the born-alive bill and his opposition to expanding the state’s Alternatives to Abortion program.

The born-alive bill, authored by Rep. Jeff Leach, R-Plano, created criminal and civil penalties for doctors who withhold appropriate care. A physician who failed to act after a failed abortion could face a third-degree felony punishable by two to 10 years in prison and a civil fine of at least $100,000. Gov. Greg Abbott signed the measure, and it took effect Sept. 1, 2019.
