LUTNICK stated that Trump’s Saturday, which imposes 25 % tariffs on products from Canada and Mexico, intend to put pressure on the United States to stop the Fentanyl flow in two countries.

Lutnick said that Deepseek has swore to create a “inexpensive” AI model by misusing US technology and impose new restrictions on Beijing technology access.
“They stealed things. They have invaded. They have taken our IP,” Lutonic said about China. “It must be over. I have to maintain the lead, so it will be strict to pursue restrictions and implement these restrictions to keep us as a lead. “
