- According to Gallup, In contrast, 9% say the government should prioritize developing AI capabilities as quickly as possible, even if it means reducing rules for AI safety and data security. Eleven percent of Americans are unsure.
- Gallup notes, “This preference is notable against the backdrop of global competitiveness in AI development. Most Americans (85%) agree that global competition for the most advanced AI is already underway, and 79% say it is important for the U.S. to have more advanced AI technology than other countries.”

Aug-18 2025 16:20
MNI London: Indian Minister of External Affairs, Subrahmanyam Jaishankar, has met with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi in New Delhi, India. The trip is Wang’s first to India in more than three years.
- Wang said ahead of the meeting: “When the world’s two largest nations meet, it is natural that the international situation will be discussed. We seek a fair, balanced and multipolar world order, including a multipolar Asia. In the current environment, there is clearly the imperative of maintaining and enhancing stability in the global economy as well.”
- Per Reuters, Jaishankar said he is confident that discussions would, "contribute to building a stable, cooperative and forward-looking relationship between India and China."
- Jaishankar told reporters that the ministers had “productive conversations on our economic and trade issues, pilgrimages, people-to-people contacts,” and on “river data sharing, border trade, connectivity and bilateral exchanges”.
- The meeting comes as India and China engage in a rapprochement, accelerated by US President Donald Trump’s threat of a punitive 50% tariff rate imposed on Indian exports to the US.
- The New York Times notes that Trump’s trade agenda has, “injected new momentum into an easing of tensions between China and India, which had ramped up in recent years.”
- At the end of August, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi will travel to China for a bilateral meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping on the margins of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation summit in Tianjin, Modi’s first trip to China in seven years.
