[Trump's Multiple Statements: AI Control, Russia-Ukraine Energy Truce, and Oil Prices] ⑴ Trump stated that the only control or safeguard needed for artificial intelligence is a strong and intelligent president, and that the US government has prevented individuals in the AI field from engaging in misconduct. ⑵ Trump announced that Ukraine has agreed not to target Russian energy targets, and Russia has agreed to the same, stating that the rise in global diesel prices is primarily due to the Russia-Ukraine conflict, not Iran. ⑶ Trump urged against stifling the golden goose of artificial intelligence, claiming that the AI and data center boom is solely due to the US's significant lead over other countries. ⑷ Trump stated he is open to engaging with Iran, saying Iran wants an agreement and wants it to be reached quickly; this was subsequently refuted by Iranian media. ⑸ Trump claimed that oil is flowing through the Strait of Hormuz, and that after the conflict ends, countries that have done nothing to help the US should compensate the US.
