Donald Trump on Wednesday slammed tech companies in the USA for building factories in China and hiring workers in India. The US President also warned that such days in the tech industry are now “over" under his presidency.

Trump’s remark came at an AI Summit in Washington, where he signed three executive orders related to Artificial Intelligence, including a White House action plan to utilise AI.

He said that “For too long, much of our tech industry pursued a radical globalism that left millions of Americans feeling distrustful and betrayed."

“Many of our largest tech companies have reaped the blessings of American freedom while building their factories in China, hiring workers in India and slashing profits in Ireland, you know that, all the while dismissing and even censoring their fellow citizens right here at home," Trump said.

“Under President Trump, those days are over," he said.

“We need you, as technology companies, to be all in for America. We want you to put America first. You have to do that. That’s all we ask," he added.

At the event, Trump signed an executive order to ensure that AI models procured by the federal government prioritise truthfulness and ideological neutrality.

Key policies in the AI Action Plan include exporting American AI, promoting rapid buildout of data centers, enabling innovation and adoption, and upholding free speech in frontier models.
