Today, Select Committee on China Chairman John Moolenaar (R-MI) issued the following statement on President Donald Trump’s meeting with Chinese leader Xi Jinping in South Korea:
“In a successful trip to Asia, President Trump turbocharged America’s efforts to counter Chinese aggression on rare earths and secured critical minerals agreements with our allies that will benefit America for years to come. China’s rare earth controls are a loaded gun pointed at our economy, and we must neutralize the threat by ending supply chain dependencies on China before it is too late. President Trump’s meeting with Xi Jinping also brought hopeful progress for our farmers and the fight against fentanyl, but the ultimate measure of success will be whether China upholds its promises or lies and cheats as it usually does."
Chairman John Moolenaar (R-MI) of the House Select Committee on China is introducing the Guaranteeing Access and Innovation for National Artificial Intelligence (GAIN AI) Act to ensure that American companies remain at the front of the line for advanced AI chips. The legislation is being co-led by Select Committee Ranking Member Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-IL).
"The GAIN AI Act will guarantee that no American company is ever put behind a foreign adversary buyer for advanced AI chips," said Chairman Moolenaar. “This is an America First Chip Policy in action that will build sustained American AI dominance.”
