Trump's AI Action Plan aims to block chip exports to China but lacks key details
The Trump administration wants its AI technology to be considered an industry leader both on home soil and abroad. But it also doesn't want the U.S.'s AI prowess to empower or embolden a foreign adversary. That's quite the balance to strike. If President Trump's AI Action Plan, which was released on Wednesday, is any indicator, the administration seems to still be figuring out the right course of action to achieve those goals. 'America currently is the global leader on data center construction, computing hardware performance, and models,' the plan stated. 'It is imperative that the United States leverage this advantage into an enduring global alliance, while preventing our adversaries from free-riding on our innovation and investment.' The plan mentions strengthening AI chip export controls through 'creative approaches' followed by a pair of policy recommendations. The first calls on government organizations, including the Department of Commerce and National Security Council, to work with the AI industry on chip location verification features. The second is a recommendation to establish an effort to figure out enforcement for potential chip export restrictions; notably, it mentions that while the U.S. and allies impose export controls on major systems required for chip manufacturing, there isn't a focus on many of the component sub-systems — a hint at where the administration wants the DOC to direct its attention. The AI Action plan also talks about how the U.S. will need to find alignment in this area with its global allies. 'America must impose strong export controls on sensitive technologies,' the plan states. 'We should encourage partners and allies to follow U.S. controls, and not backfill. If they do, America should use tools such as the Foreign Direct Product Rule and secondary tariffs to achieve greater international alignment.' The AI Action plan never gets into detail on exactly how it will achieve Al global alliances, coordinate with allies on export chip restrictions, or work with U.S.-based AI companies on chip location verification features. Instead, the AI Action plans lay out what foundational building blocks are required for future sustainable AI chip export guidelines, as opposed to policies implemented on top of existing guidelines. The upshot: chip export restrictions are going to take more time. And there's ample evidence, beyond the AP Action plan, to suggest it will. For instance, the Trump administration has contradicted itself multiple times on its export restriction strategy in the past few months — including just last week. In July, the administration gave semiconductor firms, like Nvidia and AMD, the green light to start selling AI chips they had developed for China, just months after rolling out licensing restrictions on the same AI chips that effectively pulled Nvidia out of the Chinese market. The administration also formally rescinded the Biden administration's AI Diffusion Rule in May, just days before it was supposed to go into effect. The AI Diffusion rule put a cap on how much AI computing capacity some countries were allowed to buy. The Trump administration is expected to sign multiple executive orders July 23. Whether these will contain detailed plans on how it will reach its goals is unclear. While the AI Action Plan talks at length about figuring out how to expand the U.S. AI market globally, while maintaining dominance, it's light on the specifics. Any executive order regarding chip export restrictions will likely be about getting the proper government departments together to figure out a path forward, as opposed to formal guidelines, quite yet.

Trump administration canceled a $4.9B loan guarantee for a line to deliver green power
TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — The Trump administration on Wednesday canceled a $4.9 billion federal loan guarantee for a new high-voltage transmission line for delivering solar and wind-generated electricity from the Midwest to the eastern U.S. The U.S. Department of Energy declared that it is "not critical for the federal government to have a role' in the first phase of Chicago-based Invenergy's planned Grain Belt Express. The department also questioned whether the $11 billion project could meet the financial conditions required for a loan guarantee. President Donald Trump has repeatedly derided wind and solar energy as 'unreliable' and opposed efforts to combat climate change by moving away from fossil fuels. The Department of Energy also said Wednesday that the conditional commitment to Invenergy in November was among billions of dollars' worth of commitments "rushed out the doors" by former President Joe Biden's administration after Biden lost the election. 'To ensure more responsible stewardship of taxpayer resources, DOE has terminated its conditional commitment,' the agency said in a statement. It wasn't immediately clear how much the department's action would delay or stop the start of construction, which was set to begin next year. The company's representatives didn't immediately respond to emails Wednesday seeking comment The company has said its project would create 4,000 jobs and new efficiencies in delivering power, and that it would save consumers $52 billion over 15 years. The line would deliver electricity from Kansas across Missouri and Illinois and into Indiana, connecting there to the power grid for the eastern U.S. It could deliver up to 5,000 megawatts of electricity. "When electricity demand and consumer power bills are soaring, it's hard to imagine a more backward move,' said Bob Keefe, executive director of E2, a nonpartisan, Washington-based group supporting renewable energy. Keefe called the Grain Belt Express 'one of the country's most important energy projects' and suggested Trump canceled the loan guarantee 'just because it will bring cleaner energy to more people.' But two prominent Missouri Republicans, U.S. Sen. Josh Hawley and state Attorney General Andrew Bailey, are vocal critics of the project, describing it as a threat to farmland and land owners' property rights. Bailey called the project a 'scam' and a 'boondoggle.' Hawley said on July 10 that he had secured a pledge from U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright to cancel the loan guarantee in a conversation with him and Trump. Critics like Hawley object to the company's ability to use lawsuits against individual land owners along the line's route to compel them to sell their property, which Hawley called 'an elitist land grab.' Online court records show that the company filed dozens of such lawsuits in Missouri circuit courts in recent years, and the Missouri Farm Bureau's president posted on the social platform X Wednesday that the project threatened to 'sacrifice rural America in the name of progress.' Democrats on the U.S. Senate's energy committee suggested on X that Trump, Wright and Hawley 'just killed" the project, but Invenergy announced in May that it had awarded $1.7 billion in contracts for work on the project. And Bailey suggested in a statement that the project could still go forward with private funding without the loan guarantee, saying, 'If Invenergy still intends to force this project on unwilling landowners, we will continue to fight every step of the way.'

Microsoft software flaw leads to shock nuclear cyber breach
It's funny how often the tools we trust most open the back door without us realizing it. Given the fast-evolving cybersecurity landscape, state-sponsored threats have grown more precise and quiet, with even routine enterprise software coming under the microscope. Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter Though the headlines chase high-profile attacks, a quieter breach could potentially be reshaping how agencies think about risk. The latest one didn't arrive with fanfare, but its ripple effects are starting to surface. It's the kind of cyber threat that challenges assumptions about where the next attack is likely to originate. Image source:The financial toll of cyberattacks has been exploding. Last year, the average cost of a solitary data breach hit a record $4.88 million, according to IBM and the Ponemon Institute. That's a healthy 10% bump in one year, and it's only getting worse. Case in point is the MOVEit ransomware attack from a couple of years ago, orchestrated by the Cl0p gang and representing one of the costliest in history. The global price tag came in at more than $15.8 billion.

Health care took a massive hit, too. A botched CrowdStrike update in summer last year disrupted operations at 759 hospitals. More than 200 reported impacts to direct patient care. That included emergency patches, delayed procedures, and forced IT rollbacks, which pushed the costs higher. And things haven't slowed down this year, either. Rubrik Zero Labs reports that a whopping 74% of organizations discovered their backup systems were compromised during an attack. Even more alarming, over one-third lost their backups entirely. Then the June credential breach saw 16 billion passwords leaked in a single event. The damage is still unfolding, but industry experts expect upwards of $20 billion in fallout, led by identity theft protection, forced password resets, and potential lawsuits. Analysts now expect global cybercrime damages to reach a dizzying $10.5 trillion by the close of the year, up 15% year-over-year.

Bloombergreports that hackers exploited a loophole in Microsoft's (MSFT) SharePoint software in breaching systems at the U.S. National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA). The agency is responsible for developing and dismantling nuclear weapons, powering Navy submarines, and handling radiological emergencies. Alhough apparently no classified material was stolen, the breach is serious. SharePoint, used widely in government and corporate networks, became the entry point for bad actors. According to a Department of Energy spokesperson, the hack began on July 18 but was limited due to the use of Microsoft's cloud-based services. Microsoft confirmed Tuesday that several Chinese-linked hacking groups, including names like "Linen Typhoon," "Violet Typhoon," and "Storm-2603," have been exploiting SharePoint's flaws. The attackers targeted internet-facing servers in gaining unauthorized access. Once inside, they stole usernames, passwords, hash codes, and sign-in tokens. Related: Veteran analyst drops surprise call on Tesla ahead of earnings Cybersecurity firm Eye Security said the weaknesses enabled hackers to impersonate users, even with the patches in place. Hackers can maintain access through hidden back doors or modified files that can survive updates and reboots. Eye Security has tracked over 100 compromised servers across 60 organizations, including universities, energy firms, and others. Other government entities that took a hit include the likes of the U.S. Department of Education, the Florida Department of Revenue, and Rhode Island's General Assembly. A Florida official stated that the incident is still under investigation at multiple levels of government. Also, Microsoft clarified that only on-premises versions of SharePoint were impacted, while the cloud versions on Microsoft 365 remained safe. Meanwhile, the Chinese Embassy in Washington denied any involvement, saying China is against any forms of cyberattacks and calling for conclusions based on evidence. The investigation is ongoing as Microsoft and U.S. officials track additional actors using the same entry points. The Arena Media Brands, LLC THESTREET is a registered trademark of TheStreet, Inc.
