    Senate fails to advance data center and lawmaker stock trading bills before campaign break (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    The US Senate is set to leave Washington soon for election-season campaigning after two failed votes Wednesday on highly charged issues: AI data center costs and lawmakers' stock trading. The Ratepayer Protection Act and the Stop Insider Trading Act were blocked by Democrats and fell short of the required 60 votes to advance in tallies of 57-43 and 53-47, respectively. The data center bill garnered a handful of Democratic votes — but not enough to advance the legislation — while the stock tradin

    Trump gathers with AI leaders and floats ‘self-regulation’ as the way to deal with the technology’s dangers (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    President Trump gathered top artificial intelligence leaders in Washington on Tuesday and doubled down on his opposition to government intervention, suggesting that "self-regulation" is the answer to growing worries about the technology getting out of human control. "There's a belief that there should be tremendous self-regulation," the president said after meeting with the assembled CEOs. "There was a lot of commonality in this room." Trump said he and the CEOs signed a "morally binding" accord

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    President Trump meets later this week with Chinese President Xi Jinping, and observers are hoping for incremental progress on key issues. But don't expect major policy breakthroughs. On trade, there is a hope that the current truce between the US and China could be formally extended and some concessions negotiated, as Trump has delayed making new tariff provocations. Meanwhile, on artificial intelligence, there is little expectation for any agreement around scaling back the rapid pace of develop

    Trump slams the Fed rate hike, says he told Warsh 'you might as well vote with the board' (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    President Trump reacted to Wednesday's Fed rate hike, saying "Interest Rates in the United States should be 1%, or less" and acknowledging he discussed with Kevin Warsh the Fed chair's plans for how to vote ahead of time. "I talked to Kevin and I said, 'you might as well vote with the board because it's not going to matter,'" Trump told reporters Wednesday evening. The Federal Open Market Committee voted unanimously Wednesday to raise rates by 25 basis points, its first hike in three years and t

    A possible 'sugar high’: 14 of the 17 public companies that the Trump administration has taken a role in are down since the announcement (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    President Trump often touts his administration's investment in Intel (INTC) — specifically the outsized gains in the chipmaker's share price since the deal was announced. But the fortunes of more than a dozen other public companies in the US government's growing portfolio tell a much less flattering story. Stocks in other companies that have struck a deal with the Trump administration have tended to move in the opposite direction, often following a common trajectory: a significant bump around th
