Hugh: "You're going to China. You've had this back and forth with Pope Leo; I wish Pope Leo would talk about Jimmy Lai... Will you be bringing him up again [with President Xi]?" @POTUS: "I will be bringing it up."

For magnets, chips, batteries, and more, the US is rich in the required critical minerals and rare earth resources. From extraction through processing, it is crucial for our national security and economy to tap into these abundant domestic supplies, which we can do so much better for our environment than so many other countries elsewhere around the world.

Secretary Lutnick spoke today at the @EXIMBankUS. He shared President Trump’s vision to put American workers, manufacturers, and exporters first. America is here to win, and EXIM plays a critical role in helping U.S. businesses sell more, build more, and lead in markets around the world.

In a new report rolled out in conjunction with our hearing yesterday on the same topic, @ChinaSelect has identified Chinese AI firms, including @deepseek_ai, @MiniMax_AI, and @moonshot AI, as key players leveraging unauthorized distillation of U.S. models. ➡️Over 16 million interactions used to copy U.S. AI systems ➡️More than 24,000 fraudulent accounts deployed ➡️Tens of thousands of prompts designed to extract reasoning capabilities Stronger export controls, real penalties, and coordinated enforcement are essential to protect American innovation and national security. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

In a new letter to @SecWar, @ChinaSelect is raising urgent national security concerns regarding the operations and use of @AirbusSpace satellite imagery. Our analysis found a high likelihood that Airbus satellite imagery was accessed by a PRC-linked firm, MizarVision, which then published near real-time, annotated images identifying the type, number, and location of critical U.S. aircraft at Prince Sultan Air Base. That same imagery identified the aircraft types later targeted in Iran’s March 27 attack. We are demanding action to protect American forces and U.S. strategic operations. foxnews.com/politics/satel…
