[Trump Plans to Push for Government Equity in AI Companies, Key Talks May Begin This Week] Odaily Planet Daily News: U.S. President Trump is pushing a new policy direction—allowing the federal government to hold equity in artificial intelligence companies, thereby directly participating in the revenue growth brought by this industry. Trump stated that he will hold meetings with tech companies in the 'very near future,' possibly as early as this week, to explore ways of cooperation between the government and AI enterprises. This approach aligns with his 'deal-oriented' style and is not driven by traditional populist motives. On June 6, 2026, Trump remarked that he 'should have become a stockbroker' and referenced the government's recent equity deal with Intel. Currently, the U.S. government already holds stakes in companies within sectors such as chip manufacturing, mining, and quantum computing. These equity holdings are typically part of agreements to provide federal funding, which historically did not come with equity requirements. As the AI industry rapidly evolves, some companies' valuations are projected to potentially reach trillions of dollars. Axios noted that companies like OpenAI and Anthropic may reach this scale in the future.
