WASHINGTON D.C. — Donald Trump called for the United States to put artificial intelligence to work defending the nation’s critical infrastructure, sharing an article that makes the case.
Trump directed readers to a Washington Examiner piece by mentioning the source (see washingtonexaminer) that carries the same argument about deploying AI for infrastructure defense.
The post falls under domestic policy, an area Trump has returned to repeatedly in recent weeks.

Trump linked directly to the Washington Examiner article, which appears in its Restoring America section, by mentioning the source (see washingtonexaminer). The post presents the call as a national policy position rather than an announcement of specific action.
