In another tweet posted later that day at 14:17 UTC, Donalds addressed the role of artificial intelligence in modern society.

Further expanding on energy solutions for national security purposes, Donalds tweeted about an executive order concerning nuclear technology at 15:13 UTC. He explained “Executive Order: ‘Deploying Advanced Nuclear Reactor Technologies for National Security’ Description: ‘What this executive order will do is speed-up the approval and adoption process for specialized nuclear reactors at [defense and AI installations].
