On this edition of Your Call's Media Roundtable, we discuss a New York Times investigation exposing how the Trump administration gave the United Arab Emirates access to high-powered artificial intelligence chips just days after receiving a $2 billion investment in Trump’s cryptocurrency empire.
According to the New York Times, many of the chips would go to G42, a sprawling technology firm controlled by Sheikh Tahnoon, despite national security concerns that the chips could be shared with China.
Democrats in Congress and ethics lawyers are calling for an investigation into potential ethics violations related to United Arab Emirates deals.
