Trump dismisses AI “conspiracy,” warns Taiwan stability message to China

South China Morning Post highlights a renewed US messaging push as President Donald Trump downplayed rising concerns about artificial intelligence, arguing the United States already has guardrails in place and describing critics as promoting a “sick conspiracy.”

The outlet also links the AI remarks to a separate, coordinated regional approach, noting the United States, Japan, and South Korea announced a new economic-security consultation and reiterated support for stability across the Taiwan Strait.

According to the report, the group’s comments were delivered just days before Chinese President Xi Jinping’s summit with President Donald Trump, with the coordinated message aimed at two issues Beijing is said to view as particularly sensitive.

The article frames Trump’s stance as warning that casting doubt on AI development would benefit China.
