트럼프 “AI 개발 가속”...지지율은 32%로 최저 / YTN

[Anchor] U.S. President Donald Trump has reiterated his intention to accelerate the development of artificial intelligence (AI), citing competition with China as the reason. However, amidst dissatisfaction with high inflation, his approval rating has fallen to a record low, and President Trump has pointed to Ukraine as the cause of soaring diesel prices. Correspondent Shin Yoon-jung reports. [Reporter] U.S. President Trump once again dismissed warnings that AI could destroy humanity as a "hoax." Three days before the U.S.-China summit, he emphasized that he would not put the brakes on AI development, stating that he would maintain the current advantage over China. However, the Trump administration has decided to respond jointly to AI risks, separate from the development competition with China. Treasury Secretary Scott Besant stated that the "U.S.-China AI Dialogue" has been formalized and that they plan to meet again in Shenzhen, China, this coming November to discuss the matter. [Scott Besant / U.S. Treasury Secretary: It is about informing each other whether an AI-related incident has occurred, or whether AI issues have escalated to the level of national security.] While President Trump steps on the accelerator for AI development, the fire at his feet is the soaring cost of living. In a Reuters/Ipsos poll, President Trump's approval rating fell to 32%, the lowest level across his first and second terms. Positive assessments regarding his handling of inflation stood at only 17%; notably, even among Republican supporters, the view that he is doing a poor job surpassed the positive assessment for the first time. Diesel prices in the U.S. are also skyrocketing as the war in Ukraine overlaps with disruptions in crude oil supply caused by instability in the Middle East, such as the Iran war. President Trump directly pressured President Zelenskyy, citing Ukraine's attack on Russian oil facilities as the cause of the surge in diesel prices. [Donald Trump / U.S. President (on the 13th): President Zelenskyy has to do one thing.] [Russia must stop attacking transit facilities. Other targets may be attacked, but transit facilities must not.] President Trump is expected to meet with President Zelenskyy in New York, where the UN General Assembly is being held, and it appears he will urge a halt to attacks on Russian oil refineries. With the midterm elections just over 40 days away and his approval ratings having dropped to a record low, President Trump is in a desperate need for diplomatic and economic achievements from the upcoming UN General Assembly and the U.S.-China summit.
