El Salvador "is writing the blueprint" for Sovereign AI. And today, we present our National AI Strategy 2026. A roadmap built on: • Innovation • Sovereignty • Human potential • Abundance El Salvador is winning by design.

Pro Tip: The fastest way to make new friends in El Salvador is to start playing pickleball.

Three bond markets on three continents are breaking at the same time. US: The 30-year yield is at 5.085%. The 20-year at 5.092%. The 10-year at 4.538%. Every maturity rising together. The government is running a $2 trillion annual deficit and borrowing more every day to fund a war. UK: Gilt yields just hit 5.13%, the highest since 2008. A leadership challenge to the Prime Minister, combined with global inflation fears and the same energy shock, is crushing British sovereign debt. Japan: Wholesale inflation came in at 4.9%, nearly double the 3.0% forecast. Naphtha up 79.4%. The 30-year JGB yield hit 4.00%, a record for a country that spent three decades in deflation. The Bank of Japan is under pressure to hike rates in June. The common thread: the Strait of Hormuz closure is injecting an energy shock into every major economy simultaneously. Oil spikes, wholesale inflation follows, bond markets reprice, and governments that borrowed trillions at near-zero rates discover what 5% actually costs. Stocks are at all-time highs because AI earnings are real. Bond yields are at multi-decade highs because sovereign debt loads are also real. Both cannot be right. And historically, it is not the bond market that is wrong.

Add AI to the mix . . . El Salvador + Bitcoin + AI This sovereignty trifecta has made El Salvador the new shining city on a hill. The new beacon of freedom & hope.

🚨 JENSEN HUANG: “The amount of energy that we need for computing is probably 1,000x more than we currently have.”

Anthropic just published a paper on US-China AI competition, timed to drop while Trump is sitting across from Xi in Beijing. "AI will soon become powerful enough to be used to repress citizens at unprecedented scale, and even to alter the balance of power among nations." Their argument is that whoever builds the most powerful AI first sets the global rules. The US currently leads in compute, the key ingredient, but China's labs have stayed close by exploiting export control loopholes and running "distillation attacks" that copy American models. DeepSeek's R1-0528 complied with 94% of malicious requests under a common jailbreak. US models sat at 8%. China's PLA is already deploying DeepSeek to coordinate drone swarms and run cyber offense. Anthropic wants tighter export controls, a crackdown on distillation, and a locked-in 12-24 month US lead by 2028. They argue a close race would force everyone to ship faster without safety measures. The implication is that the US should win decisively so companies like Anthropic can afford to be careful. The subtext matters. Anthropic is in talks to raise $30-50 billion at a $950 billion valuation. Tighter export controls and government-backed AI adoption directly benefit their market position. The framing is democracy vs authoritarianism. But when a company approaching a trillion-dollar valuation tells you AI can "repress citizens at unprecedented scale" and then asks the government to guarantee its dominance through policy, it's worth asking which citizens and whose scale.

Max Keiser explains why El Salvador 🇸🇻 and Bitcoin ⚡ are perfect together. The world’s safe haven asset meets the world’s safe haven country.

JUST IN: 𝕏 to roll out an “Iron Slopdome” to counter AI slop on the platform.

🇸🇻 Hundreds of gang members faced trial together in El Salvador via video link. Western critics call it an abuse of human rights, but Bukele's no-nonsense approach is why El Salvador now has a U.S State Dept Level 1 safety rating, the best possible, making it a lower risk for travelers than France, Germany, Spain, and the UK.
