New Program Lets U.S. Firms Apply

Compliance with these legal rules is a required condition for participation in the Program.
Diplomatic Push to Open Markets and Investment
The Secretary of State, with the Economic Diplomacy Action Group, will develop a unified Federal strategy to promote U.S. AI exports, align technical and financial resources, coordinate multilateral initiatives, analyze market access barriers, and support partner countries in building pro‑innovation regulations and infrastructure.
