We're having a post from Marco Rubio talking about how this isn't just an attack on X. It's an attack on American tech platforms and on American people.

As you sit down and meet across the board, you're going to an AI impact pre-summit, for example.

What other sorts of narratives you can come back with to say this isn't?

This is the right due diligence.

And indeed, we embrace American tech companies in Europe.

What's interesting is you're here not just in San Francisco and visiting.

You're then flying to L.A.

to an event in Simi Valley that we're going to both be at, the Reagan Defense Forum.

And what's interesting in the moment is there is a view in particular, a white paper that you, the EU, have put forward really unveiling the commitment of the European Commission to spending on defense.

What has the reaction been from the United States thus far?

Have we seen the U.S.

think that enough is being done?

And can you get access to the right U.S.

defense tech?

It's been wonderful having time with you.

A decisive answer there, EU ambassador to the U.S., Jovita Lipshiena.

We thank you.

Time now for Talking Tech.

First up, one of China's leading AI chip makers, MoreThreads, jumped 425% in its Shanghai trading debut.

The startup drew strong investor interest in its IPO, with the retail portion oversubscribed by 2,750 times.
