State Department Economic Affairs

Official @StateDept account: Coordinating U.S. economic statecraft under @UnderSecE — because economic security is national security.

[US Embassy Warsaw @USEmbassyWarsaw]

.@UnderSecE: „Dziś 35 państw podpisało Deklarację w sprawie Szans związanych ze Sztuczną Inteligencją, opowiadając się za podejściem regulacyjnym ery AI, które jest PROROZWOJOWE i PROINNOWACYJNE. To zobowiązanie do budowy zaufanych łańcuchów dostaw, mobilizacji sektora prywatnego oraz rozwoju infrastruktury, która będzie napędzać następne stulecie.
Przyszłość sztucznej inteligencji nie zostanie określona przez to, kto jako pierwszy wprowadzi regulacje. Zostanie określona przez to, kto pierwszy zacznie budować i kto stworzy największe moce wytwórcze. Więcej energii. Więcej mocy obliczeniowej. Więcej chipów. Więcej talentów. Więcej twórców i innowatorów. Mile widziana jest przyszłość, w której PRZYSPIESZAMY INNOWACJE I INWESTYCJE PRYWATNE.
Wspólnie dążymy do zbudowania przyszłości AI, która służy naszym społeczeństwom, wzmacnia nasze gospodarki oraz wspiera przedsiębiorczość, innowacyjność i praworządność.”

Today, 35 nations signed the Declaration on AI Opportunity, aligning behind a PRO-GROWTH, PRO-INNOVATION regulatory approach for the AI era. A commitment to trusted supply chains, to mobilizing the private sector, and the infrastructure that will power the next century.

The future of AI will not be determined by who regulates first. It will be determined by who builds first and builds the most capacity. More energy. More compute. More chips. More talent. More builders. A future where we ACCELERATE INNOVATION AND PIVATE INVESTMENT is welcomed.

Together, we aspire to build an AI future that serves our peoples, strengthens our economies, and empowers entrepreneurship, innovation, and the rule of law.

We welcome the European Union, Germany, and Greece to Pax Silica.

Advanced mobile communications. AI. Critical minerals. These aren't just capabilities, they're the building blocks of economic sovereignty.

A positive-sum partnership of nations committed to remaining competitive and prosperous, together.

[Under Secretary of State Jacob S. Helberg @UnderSecE]

The European Union, Germany, and Greece signed the Pax Silica Declaration, bringing advanced mobile communications, AI, and critical mineral capabilities into our growing network.

This is what collective economic security looks like. Not dependency. Not vulnerability. Partnership.

Ahead of #SEOGS2026, U.S. State Dept. Principal Deputy A/S Hugo Yon met with Suriname's Minister of Oil, Gas & Environment Patrick Brunings. U.S. companies are already driving Suriname's $10.5B GranMorgu project — and we're committed to growing that partnership as Suriname's 2028 oil boom approaches. 🛢️🇸🇷🤝 #USinSuriname #AmericaFirst

[U.S. Embassy Paramaribo @USEmbassyParbo]

U.S. State Dept. Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary Hugo Yon is in town for #SEOGS2026!  He met with Suriname FM Bouva to advance U.S.-Suriname commercial and security cooperation. The U.S. is Suriname's largest trading partner — here to grow that relationship!

The United States welcomed The Netherlands as the sixteenth signatory to the Pax Silica Initiative.

The Netherlands is a global leader in photolithography — a capability at the heart of advanced chip production and the AI revolution reshaping our world.

Economic security IS national security. Pax Silica is how we ensure no adversary can weaponize dependency against us.

[Under Secretary of State Jacob S. Helberg @UnderSecE]

Today, the Kingdom of the Netherlands joins the Pax Silica Initiative as our 16th partner.

We are deciding who we trust to build our chips, power our AI, and secure the technologies that will define the future. The Netherlands is a global leader in advanced and emerging technologies, including key capabilities behind the advanced chips powering that future. Without it, there is no cutting-edge AI. Without secure supply chains, there is no economic security.

Investing in American quantum leadership like never before.

President Trump signs executive orders on quantum, supercharging a national effort in innovation in quantum technologies, ensuring national security and continuing American growth in a critical industry. 💻🇺🇸

[Under Secretary of State Jacob S. Helberg @UnderSecE]

America is leading the world in AI diplomacy. We’re protecting AI’s intellectual property and sensitive technology while driving innovation that will keep America prosperous for years to come.

[Under Secretary of State Jacob S. Helberg @UnderSecE]

Competitive market policies like accelerated permitting and tax liberalization have created unprecedented economic growth under the Trump Administration—fostering innovation, strengthening American businesses, and driving economic growth.

[Under Secretary of State Jacob S. Helberg @UnderSecE]

Technological advancement has never led to mass unemployment. Stifling it has. AI will create jobs and growth for the American economy for generations to come.

[Under Secretary of State Jacob S. Helberg @UnderSecE]

AI isn’t just an economic story, it’s a strategic one. It is redefining power on the world stage.  Pax Silica secures the minerals, chips, energy, and compute that AI runs on.

[Under Secretary of State Jacob S. Helberg @UnderSecE]

Free markets breed innovation and growth. Overregulation stifles it. On @AmOptimistShow, I discuss the challenges and opportunities facing European economies.

[Under Secretary of State Jacob S. Helberg @UnderSecE]

Winning the global AI race starts with securing our technological supply chains. Pax Silica is rebuilding American industry and mobilizing partner economies into cultivating the minerals, chips, energy, and compute that AI runs on.

[Under Secretary of State Jacob S. Helberg @UnderSecE]

Had the pleasure of joining @JTLonsdale on his podcast @AmOptimistShow to talk Pax Silica, the @StateDept’s flagship AI initiative, and how we’re securing America’s economic interests, at home and abroad.

[State Department Economic Affairs @EconAtState]

The United States welcomes the Asfura administration’s efforts to advance energy sector reforms that support investment in Honduras. These reforms will help unlock new opportunities for U.S. energy investment, supporting economic growth and enhancing energy security and affordability.

[Under Secretary of State Jacob S. Helberg @UnderSecE]

AI is redrawing the map of global power. At @reindsummit, I made the case for Pax Silica: securing minerals, chips, energy, and compute AI runs on. The nations that control the physical foundation of AI will set the terms of the next century. Free nations must be the ones who do.
