BREAKING: Trump says China’s President Xi asked him whether the United States would defend Taiwan if China invaded. Trump says he responded: “I don’t talk about that.” That answer should alarm every American. Taiwan is not just another island in a geopolitical dispute. It is the beating heart of the global AI industry. Nearly every advanced AI chip powering companies like NVIDIA, OpenAI, Google, Microsoft, Meta, and Amazon depends heavily on Taiwan’s semiconductor manufacturing. If China were to seize Taiwan: • The global AI industry could face catastrophic disruption. • Advanced chip production could collapse overnight. • America’s AI leadership could stall for years. • GPU shortages could cripple everything from AI research to national defense systems. • The U.S. economy could suffer one of the largest technological shocks in modern history.
