  • Trump to Consider Government Stakes in AI Companies; Knicks Win
    Jun 6 2026

    President Donald Trump expressed interest in the US government holding equity stakes in leading artificial intelligence developers, saying that he planned to discuss the idea of a partnership with AI companies’ executives as soon as next week. Trump said he had already spoken to the companies about the idea, though he offered no specifics on those conversations. In his remarks, he addressed news reports that the administration would put the stock into a government-run wealth fund that would redistribute some of the financial windfall to the public and signaled his openness to that idea.

    President Trump also said he will attend the NBA finals at Madison Square Garden on Monday. The Knicks have won both games of the NBA Finals so far against the San Antonio Spurs. Resale tickets for the game are being sold for thousands of dollars.
