Very thoughtful letter from @SenatorBanks on AI strategy and how to approach talks with China. Completely agree with the below test for when cooperation is in our interest. This is exactly what led to the agreement not to use AI for nuclear launch decisions in 2024, which had been U.S. policy since 2022. "There may be limited areas where it does make sense to engage in dialogue with Chinese officials. I would recommend a simple test: if it is in America’s national interest to adopt a given AI policy unilaterally due to security concerns, even if we knew the PRC may cheat, then it is worth engaging the Chinese on the possibility of reciprocal action."
Senator Jim Banks@SenatorBanks

President Trump is right to push for an AI strategy that keeps America ahead of China while putting real guardrails in place against serious risks. As President Trump meets with Xi, AI talks with China should focus on common sense steps that make America safer, even if we have to take those steps on our own. My letter to the admin laying this out ⬇️

Select Committee on China@ChinaSelect·
RELEASE | Chairman @RepMoolenaar and @SenatorBanks introduce the Securing Innovation and Research from Adversaries Act. This bill aims to block federally funded U.S. research collaborations with foreign adversaries, particularly China, by prohibiting partnerships with entities and individuals on government blacklists. The bill would prevent taxpayer-funded research from supporting China’s military and intelligence-linked technology development while allowing limited, transparent waivers for national security or public interest needs. chinaselectcommittee.house.gov/media/press-re…

Indiana Senator Jim Banks: "More broadly, there are unresolved questions about whether we currently have the ability to keep powerful AI systems under our control... America must embrace the challenging dual mandate of winning the AI race against the PRC while navigating critical security challenges along the way." This letter from Senator Banks is an excellent example of what it looks like for elected officials to take the challenges of immense AI progress in capabilities seriously. Impressive and worth reading in full.

Proud to vote YES on the crypto market structure bill today. Washington shouldn’t be in the business of strangling American innovation. Clear rules, free markets, and U.S. leadership in digital assets. That’s a win. 🇺🇸

Just voted for the crypto market structure bill. If we don’t write the rules for digital assets, China will. American innovation doesn’t wait for Washington to catch up. 🇺🇸

.@POTUS has the cards. He has the leverage. And he will use it. The Chinese always lie, steal, cheat, and refuse to hold-up their end of deals. This is unacceptable. We're putting China on notice. We're putting the American people first.

Landmark win for trucking safety this morning. The Supreme Court rules UNANIMOUSLY against the broker that helped put the illegal alien who hit Dalilah Coleman on the road. As a result of this decision, trucking brokers can be liable for negligently giving loads to illegal alien semi-truck drivers.

🚨Supreme Court Ruling Unanimous Brokers are ACCOUNTABLE for negligently hiring unsafe motor carriers!
