Trump Tells 60 Minutes He 'Doesn't Mind Guardrails' on AI, Mentions China Eight Times

In his first post-midterm 60 Minutes sit-down, Trump told Ross Douthat that AI risks 'can be managed,' named DOJ as the manager, and said 'I don't mind guardrails' as long as the US is not pushed into 'a deep second position' to China — a country he invoked eight times in the exchange. He signaled openness to work with Democrats on safeguards but would not specify which guardrails he would sign, framing the issue almost entirely as a race rather than a safety problem.
