Donald Trump Gives Republicans New Demand In Race With China

President Donald Trump has ordered Republicans to get behind a new bill headed to the House on Tuesday, which he says will put the United States "lightyears ahead of China, Europe, and all others." The GENIUS Act or Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for U.S. Stablecoins Act, aims to regulate stablecoins, a type of cryptocurrency pegged to assets like the U.S. dollar. The bill has already passed by the Senate and is set for a vote in the House before it lands on Trump's desk.

"The House will soon VOTE on a tremendous Bill to Make America the UNDISPUTED, NUMBER ONE LEADER in Digital Assets," the president said in a post on Truth Social.

The GENIUS Act's advancement reflects growing bipartisan focus on the race for technological dominance with China. While the United States has overseen explosive data center and cryptocurrency market growth, Chinese investments in renewable energy, electric vehicles, and digital infrastructure are rapidly outpacing its rivals. In the digital arms race for artificial intelligence, the U.S. still holds the lead in AI but China is rapidly closing the distance with firms like DeepSeek to become a major player in the industry.
