Trump Allies and Family Secure Major AI-Linked Contracts Amid White House Backing

Donald Trump's sons, through AI-linked defense and technology ventures, have secured a $620 million Pentagon loan, a Marine Corps robotics contract and an undisclosed Air Force drone deal over the past year, according to The Guardian.

Trump's longtime friend Michael Dell won a Pentagon contract worth nearly $9 billion, The Guardian reported.

The report notes that as public support for artificial intelligence has fallen to some of its lowest recorded levels, President Trump has publicly defended the industry, including in posts on Truth Social. The Guardian states it is not clear whether financial interests are driving White House policy, though the two run in parallel.
