New York/Washington; U.S. President Donald Trump issued a stern warning to American tech companies operating in India and China, declaring that the era of outsourcing jobs and profits overseas is “officially over” under his administration. His fiery remarks came during an Artificial Intelligence (AI) Summit held on Wednesday, where he also signed three new executive orders related to AI regulation and national tech policy.
Addressing the summit, Trump criticized major U.S. technology firms for setting up factories in China, hiring labor in India, and using tax havens like Ireland to minimize profits in the U.S. “For too long, our tech industry has blindly followed radical globalism, leaving millions of hardworking Americans feeling betrayed,” Trump stated.
He further accused the companies of not only outsourcing but also manipulating narratives domestically:
“These companies benefited from American freedom while censoring our own citizens and misleading the public. Under President Trump, those days are over.”
The President emphasized the need for a renewed sense of patriotism and national loyalty, especially in Silicon Valley, as the U.S. races to lead the global AI landscape.
“Winning the AI race requires American companies that are loyal to America first. You must put America at the center of everything you do,” Trump asserted.
Alongside his comments, Trump signed three key executive orders that aim to boost American competitiveness in AI. One of the orders includes a White House AI Action Plan, designed to create a unified national strategy to expand the export of American AI technologies and strengthen domestic innovation.
The new policies reflect Trump’s consistent “America First” approach, as he intensifies pressure on corporations to bring jobs, investments, and technological development back to U.S. soil. The remarks also hint at possible regulatory or tax actions against firms that continue to heavily invest in overseas operations, particularly in geopolitical hotspots like China and India.
While the statements are likely to stir debate within global business circles, they also mark a clear attempt by the Trump administration to redirect the trajectory of American tech influence toward national interests ahead of the 2026 midterm elections.
