Vance offers an 'America First' argument on AI deregulation in his first foreign policy speech In his first big moment on the world stage, Vice President JD Vance delivered an unmistakable message: the United States under the 47th president has room for you on the Trump train — but it also has no problem leaving you behind.
Vance, speaking at the Artificial Intelligence Action Summit in Paris on Tuesday, hewed closely to President Donald Trump's “America First” outlook as he spoke of maintaining U.S. dominance in the surging industry.
“We also want to make sure that we’re actually engaged in a security partnership that’s good for both Europe and the United States,” Vance said, as Trump has also been pressing for NATO members to dramatically increase domestic spending.
Early in his address, he knocked former President Joe Biden's administration for being far too risk averse and referred derisively to a speech that then- Vice President Kamala Harris gave at a summit two years ago.
The vice president arrived in Paris with Trump sparking new tension with world leaders, including some at the AI summit.
