OpenAI and Anthropic are actively recruiting officials from the Trump administration as the AI industry scrambles to build trust with the new government. This aggressive lobbying effort reflects the sector's recognition that regulatory approval and government contracts will be pivotal for future growth. The move signals a shift in the AI narrative from pure technological competition to political influence and regulatory navigation. China's Commerce Ministry and the EU trade chief held pragmatic and productive discussions, agreeing to hold a third regular meeting of their trade mechanism in March 2027. This development suggests a de-escalation in trade tensions between the two economic powers, providing a counter-narrative to broader global trade war fears. The agreement to maintain dialogue offers a stabilizing factor for multinational corporations exposed to both markets.
