[US Media: Trump Considered Airstrikes Against Houthis Over the Weekend, But Ultimately Decided to Postpone] According to Axios, it was previously reported that Trump consulted with senior advisors over the weekend about the possibility of launching airstrikes against the Houthis. A US official stated that Admiral Brad Cooper, commander of US Central Command, presented several options for airstrikes against Yemen to Defense Secretary Hegsays on Saturday. However, another US official indicated that Trump ultimately decided to postpone the action. Alex Plitsas, a researcher at the Atlantic Council and a former Pentagon official, told Axios, “The president changed his mind and was unwilling to open Pandora’s box by launching airstrikes, as this could lead to the Houthis jeopardizing the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, creating a second bottleneck.” He added, “Once Saudi Arabia takes the lead in resolving the Houthi issue, this will cause oil prices to surge further.”

[Trump: Whoever Wins at Artificial Intelligence Wins] US President Trump posted on social media: Those who once said "we will all die within 12 years due to global warming" are now saying that artificial intelligence will kill us, robots will attack us, and it's all a "disaster." What they called "global warming" was later renamed "climate change" because the Earth is actually cooling down, not warming up, and no one has died from it. This is even more of a hoax than "Russia, Russia, Russia," "Ukraine, Ukraine, Ukraine, Ukraine," and "climate change"! Whoever wins at artificial intelligence wins! I will not stifle the development of artificial intelligence because of certain concerns, because the impact of artificial intelligence will exceed the Industrial Revolution, even exceeding the internet itself. We will be cautious, which is why we have the Department of Justice and other law enforcement agencies to restrain it when necessary. But I will only encourage artificial intelligence, or SI (superintelligence)!
