Summary

The plan reports that the US National Security Strategy released in 2025 made superiority in advanced science and technology a main pillar of economic and national security. Right after President Trump took office, the United States focused on regaining control of supply chains through worldwide tariff and trade negotiations and export controls on rival countries. US semiconductor policy toward China, which gathered pace with EUV equipment restrictions in 2019, has continued through the CHIPS and Science Act, AI chip controls in 2022, investment controls on AI and quantum in January 2025 and limited export licences for H20 chips in August 2025. The One Big Beautiful Bill Act of July 2025 expanded tax credits for semiconductor investment and R&D. In AI, an AI Action Plan in July 2025 was followed by the Genesis Mission in November 2025, which announced 26 strategic challenges in areas such as advanced manufacturing, biotechnology and energy.
