Trump Trade: President questions industry push for AI regulation

Catch up on the top industries and stocks that were impacted, or were predicted to be impacted, by the comments, actions and policies of President Donald Trump with this daily recap compiled by The Fly.

HOAX: 

President Donald Trump wrote on Truth Social, “Concerning AI, when, in the History of Business, did anyone see the Leaders of an Industry call for Regulation that, if strongly implemented, will drive them into oblivion and bankruptcy? AI taking over the World, destroying Humanity, and all other things bad, is a HOAX, no different from RUSSIA, RUSSIA, RUSSIA – UKRAINE, UKRAINE, UKRAINE – IMPEACHMENT HOAX #1 – IMPEACHMENT HOAX #2 – and all of the other HOAXES and SCAMS that America was forced to endure through the Destructionists’ and Deviants’ foul play and illegal conduct. President Xi, of China, just announced that China will be doing absolutely nothing to stand in the way of AI, or its future. Google has recently stated that they want to build a massive Plant in Finland, all because they are finding permitting too difficult in the United States. I am not happy about this, and want them to change their thinking. AI, and Data Centers, will be the Greatest Economic Development Engine in History – Bigger than Oil, Gold, Diamonds, or even the Internet. It will not be stopped by brilliantly run Destructive Forces during the Term of President DONALD J. TRUMP!”

DEI POLICIES: 

Accenture (ACN) has agreed to pay $25M to resolve allegations by the U.S. Justice Department that it took race and sex into consideration when making hiring and promotion decisions, Bloomberg’s Jimmy Jenkins reports. The Justice Department said in a statement that Accenture engaged in discriminatory employment practices when it falsely certified compliance with regulations on government contracts prohibiting such practices. The Trump administration has directed federal contractors to certify that they don’t operate diversity and inclusion programs, which it views as violations of antidiscrimination statutes, the author notes.

IRAN: 

President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social, “The failing Nation of Iran wants to make a deal, quickly and badly. I will determine whether or not the U.S.A. will choose to engage – The concept of which we are open to. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”

ENERGY TARGETS: 

President Donald Trump stated on Truth Social, “Ukraine has agreed not to hit Russian Energy targets. Russia has agreed to do, likewise! The World’s Diesel price rise is mostly caused by the Russia/Ukraine War, not Iran.”
