Trump Makes $100 Million Push to Train American Scientists

The administration of President Donald Trump is launching an initiative worth more than $100 million aimed at training American researchers in STEM fields. This investment arrives while federal policies reduce the flow of foreign scientists into the United States and policymakers center their attention on an artificial intelligence arms race with China. Alongside this funding push, the administration is set to receive $100 million in compute credits dedicated to an artificial intelligence science initiative. Officials highlighted these efforts during a recent science summit in Washington, discussing innovation alongside related funding cuts and researcher shifts.
