Globe says BlackRock's Fink hears Trump keen for AI

2025-07-16 07:29 ET - In the News

The Globe and Mail reports in its Wednesday edition that U.S. President Donald Trump may well be the world's least likely artificial-intelligence fanboy. In a Globe special, David Shribman writes that amid the unfamiliar environs of a top university and with an audience of six university presidents, Mr. Trump said the investment commitments made at the Energy and Innovation Summit were ensuring that the U.S. became the "No. 1 superpower" in AI. "Today's commitments," Mr. Trump said, "are ensuring that the future is going to be designed, built and made right here in Pennsylvania and right here in Pittsburgh, and I have to say, right here in the United States of America." The 79-year-old is possessed of little known interest in, affinity for, and confidence with technology besides crypto. The President spoke of an economy "beautiful to behold" in an atmosphere punctuated by heady assertions that AI was the future of the world; that, as BlackRock chief executive officer Larry Fink put it, a test "to show the world that capitalism works"; and that, as a video presentation bellowed, "The golden age of energy dominance is here!" The President delivered what essentially was a pep talk for "clean, beautiful Pennsylvania coal."
