Trump's $100B AI Shockwave: Nvidia Back in China, Coal Back on the Grid
The Trump administration is preparing a full-court press on artificial intelligence, with a major policy address scheduled for July 23 titled Winning the AI Race. It's expected to be Trump's most detailed take on the technology to date. The event is backed by White House AI and crypto advisor David Sacks and his All-In podcast co-hosts. Behind the scenes, a sweeping AI action plan is nearing completionbuilt with heavy industry inputand could soon be cemented by executive order. The blueprint focuses on cutting red tape, expanding energy access for data centers, and getting federal buy-in on a more streamlined, pro-growth regulatory regime. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 4 Warning Signs with NVDA. One of the headline shifts: the U.S. now plans to allow AI chipmakers to resume some exports to China. That includes Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA)'s H20 chips, a move seen as a significant win for CEO Jensen Huang, who has been openly critical of prior export bans. Huang met privately with Trump in Washington last week, where discussions reportedly focused on boosting U.S. AI competitiveness. For Nvidia and AMD, this could reopen a multi-billion-dollar channel that had been shut off earlier this year. The reversal comes amid growing concern over China's rapid AI developmenthighlighted by DeepSeek's surprisingly cheap R1 model that raised eyebrows across Wall Street in January. Energy is also taking center stage. With AI data centers projected to more than double their share of U.S. electricity demand by 2035from 3.5% to 8.6%the Trump team is calling for expanded use of coal, gas, and nuclear power. Earlier this year, Trump helped broker a $100 billion data center investment involving SoftBank, Oracle, and OpenAI. Meanwhile, a controversial bid to preempt state AI laws for a decade was ultimately stripped from the recent tax package, but not before it gained vocal support from tech investors like Marc Andreessen and Joe Lonsdale. Taken together, Trump's AI agenda is shaping up to be aggressive, industry-led, and laser-focused on outpacing China. This article first appeared on GuruFocus.

Hundreds march through Oakland to protest President Donald Trump's visit for energy summit
Protestors blocked all traffic on Forbes in Oakland on Tuesday afternoon, as they made their way from Pitt's campus toward Carnegie Mellon University Hundreds of people first gathered in the morning near the Cathedral of Learning, where they pushed back against President Trump's visit to CMU. He was briefly in town for the Technology and and Innovation Summit. RELATED COVERAGE >>> Trump and Sen. Dave McCormick team up to promote energy and tech investments in Pennsylvania 'There are a lot of beautiful people here. It's a diverse crowd of people who are standing for everything they believe in, and protesting and exercising their American rights,' protester Michael Bennett told Channel 11. Protestors spoke out against President Trump's policies, specifically mentioning earlier this year, when ICE revoked several visas from CMU undergrads and graduate students. RELATED COVERAGE >>> 2 students, 5 recent grads from Carnegie Mellon University have visas revoked 'I felt it was right to come out and stand up for our international student community and the immigrant community that is under threat right now,' protester Daniel Curtis said. When protestors got closer to CMU, they were met with mounted patrols and officers dressed in riot gear, who stopped them from reaching campus. However, Channel 11 did see people who were supporting Trump's visit to Pittsburgh, and are excited about what this summit could mean for our city's future. 'It's wonderful. The jobs that we're going to get. The young people are going to stay here now. They go to our universities, and when they graduate, they leave because they can't find jobs here. Maybe now they'll stay,' Linda Mazur told Channel 11. Late this afternoon, Mayor Ed Gainey released a statement saying he stands with the peaceful protestors. He added that we need to make sure the benefits of economic growth are felt broadly across the region, and that Pittsburgh deserves federal leadership that invests in people, not just profit. You can read his full statement below. 'Today, President Donald Trump visited Carnegie Mellon University as part of a summit on artificial intelligence and energy. As Mayor of the City of Pittsburgh, I want to emphasize while we will do our part to ensure safety and civility during the President's visit, we cannot ignore the real harm caused by his administration's destructive policies that threaten the well-being of our residents. 'Pittsburgh is a city built on hard work, mutual care, and a deep belief that everyone deserves a fair shot — no matter their income, background, or ZIP code. Cruel policies like slashing health care, reducing access to food assistance, and making it harder for people to live safely and affordably in their own neighborhoods have no place in our city. 'Pittsburgh and Southwest Pennsylvania are at the leading edge of the development and application of artificial intelligence. The promise of these technologies and the infrastructure needed to scale them have the ability to transform our local economy, and the way that we manage that transformation will determine whether that change benefits or harms our communities. We must work to ensure that this growth does not come at the expense of our environment, the privacy of our people, and the values and morals we hold dear. There are many experts and voices nationally and locally calling attention to these issues and we need to listen to them. 'We also need to make sure that the benefits of economic growth are felt broadly across our region. Our communities have heard too many promises about prosperity only to face deeper hardships and inequities. Our city deserves federal leadership that invests in people — not just profit. That protects working families — not just corporate interests. That listens to everyday Americans — not just the wealthiest and most powerful. 'Many in our community spoke out during the President's visit. Peaceful protest is a cornerstone of our democracy, and I stand firmly with those raising their voices for justice, fairness, and real opportunity for all. We will always defend the right to speak truth to power. In Pittsburgh, we know what progress looks like: affordable health care, safe housing, strong public schools, and an economy that puts people first. That's the future we're building — no matter who sits in the White House." Download the FREE WPXI News app for breaking news alerts. Follow Channel 11 News on Facebook and Twitter. | Watch WPXI NOW

Top Zelensky adviser calls for Trump to ‘apply real pressure' on Putin — warns Russia has ‘no intention of stopping' deadly airstrikes targeting civilians
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's deputy re-upped calls for President Trump to 'apply real pressure' on Russia's war machine Tuesday, warning that Kremlin forces have shown 'no intention of stopping' airstrikes on civilian areas. 'Since Russia shows no intention of stopping, we would be sincerely grateful if the United States, using its strength and global influence, could help apply real pressure on Moscow,' Andriy Yermak, top adviser to Zelesnky, said in a statement to The Post. 'That would bring peace closer — not only for Ukraine, but for Europe and the world,' Yermak argued. 'It would serve the long-term interests of global stability.' Keith Kellogg met with Andriy Yermak days after Trump publicly vented his frustration with Putin. Telegram /@ermaka2022/AFP via Getty Images Advertisement Yermak's comments come as US special envoy to Ukraine, retired Gen. Keith Kellogg, visited Kyiv for discussions with Zelensky and other leaders — and one day after Trump pledged billions of dollars in weapons to the war-torn nation and threatened stiff sanctions on Russia's trading partners. 'These developments reflect growing engagement at the highest level — and we are deeply grateful to the US President for his commitment to stopping the killing, ending this war, and pursuing a durable peace,' Yermak said. The Zelensky adviser indicated that Kellogg 'received full briefings from our military, intelligence, and security officials' during his visit and 'met with key stakeholders and saw Ukraine's defensive and technological capabilities firsthand — including our air defense systems and drone programs.' Advertisement Ukrainian towns have taken a beating from relentless Russian assaults. Ukrainian State Emergency Service/AFP via Getty Images 'This visit reaffirmed that our partners are listening carefully and seeking ways to help turn that vision into reality,' Yermak said. 'We placed particular emphasis on the urgent need for modern air defense.' 'Russia continues to escalate its attacks on Ukrainian cities, and protecting the skies is critical to saving civilian lives.'
