On one of those future date agendas-triggering pronouncements, former president Donald Trump recited the mantra “America First” anew at the AI Summit. Within that message to the nation’s top technology leaders, Trump lashed out at several American tech firms for importing Indian workers-at least using that public for India’s benefit-setting up factories in China, and routing profits, among other means, through various countries like Ireland. “Those days are over”, he assertively and bluntly stated.
Trump signed three executive orders concerning America’s new AI Action Plan, at the summit. The first is regarding:
As he said, anything that the U.S. government developed and used with AI is true, accurate, and transparent, and not linked to any outputs of approximately driven ideologies such as DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion).
Trump’s Shocking Stand at AI Summit
This attack did not end with Trump’s pronouncement that it should not be like this. It was the judgment of the tech giants having a field day in the rest of the world scales be here “betraying” American workers by outsourcing jobs to India, manufacturing in China. “They enjoyed American freedom while building fortunes abroad,” he said, “but no more.”
He asked the tech leaders to be “all in for America,” urging them to bring jobs and innovation back home and support American citizens first.

What This Means for Indians in Tech
Such has been the comment from Trump that it has sparked global protests, especially among Indians, who have been economically dependent on outsourcing and skilled migration into the American tech industry for ages. His pronouncement may very well mean tighter immigration and hiring restrictions in the future, especially for Indian engineers and developers.
While he builds a new and new perspective on the global technology narrative to be energetic about AI leadership and nationalistic hiring, it remains to be seen whether it will really benefit American innovation or alienate key global partners.
