Trump's $1 Trillion Defense Budget Meets $1 AI Access: Sam Altman And ChatGPT Land U.S. Government Partnership
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has secured a new partnership with the U.S. General Services Administration that will give federal agencies access to the company's leading frontier models through ChatGPT Enterprise for $1 per agency for the next year, according to an OpenAI announcement. The initiative, described as a core pillar of President Donald Trump's AI Action Plan, will provide federal employees with secure access to ChatGPT Enterprise and new training resources, OpenAI says, as well as additional advanced features during a 60-day introductory period.

Historic Federal AI Partnership Focused on Productivity and Training Under the agreement, participating executive branch agencies can use OpenAI's most capable models through ChatGPT Enterprise for $1 yearly. According to OpenAI, the program is designed to help government workers allocate more time to public service priorities and less time to administrative tasks. OpenAI will also work with partners Slalom and Boston Consulting Group to support secure deployment and provide agency-specific training. Security safeguards are a key component of the rollout. OpenAI says that ChatGPT Enterprise does not use business data, including inputs or outputs, to train its models, and these same protections will apply to federal use.

You can OpenAI for Government Broadens AI Access Beyond the GSA Deal The agreement is the first major initiative for the company under OpenAI for Government, a program designed to deliver advanced AI tools to public servants nationwide. The umbrella program consolidates OpenAI's existing federal, state, and local partnerships, including collaborations with the U.S. National Labs, Air Force Research Laboratory, NASA, National Institutes of Health, and the Treasury. Through OpenAI for Government, the company will offer secure and compliant access to its most capable models, limited custom models for national security applications, and hands-on support for integration into agency workflows. The first pilot under this program will be with the Department of Defense's Chief Digital and Artificial Intelligence Office under a contract with a $200 million ceiling, OpenAI says. The work will explore how frontier AI can improve administrative operations, healthcare access for service members, program data analysis, and proactive cyber defense, all within the company's usage Results Show Significant Time Savings for Public Servants OpenAI cited results from state-level pilot programs to demonstrate the technology's impact on productivity. Pennsylvania state employees saved an average of 95 minutes per day on routine tasks when using ChatGPT. In North Carolina, 85% of participants in a Department of State Treasurer pilot reported a positive experience with ChatGPT. At the federal level, OpenAI models are already in use at Los Alamos, Lawrence Livermore, and Sandia national laboratories to accelerate scientific research, strengthen national security readiness, and drive public sector innovation. AI Integration Expands Across Federal Agencies The Trump administration's interest in AI predates the OpenAI-GSA deal announcement. Earlier this year, Altman joined Trump at the White House to announce Stargate, a massive data center initiative designed to strengthen U.S. AI infrastructure. In May, Altman and other AI executives accompanied the president to the Middle East to promote deals aligned with U.S. foreign policy goals. While agencies hold vast datasets that could enhance AI systems, OpenAI has confirmed that interactions with federal employees will not be used for model training, addressing potential privacy concerns.

EU push to protect digital rules holds up trade statement with U.S., FT reports
The European Union is trying to prevent the United States from targeting the bloc's digital rules as both sides work through the final details of a delayed statement to formalize a trade deal reached last month, the Financial Times reported on Sunday. EU officials said disagreements over language relating to "non-tariff barriers," which the U.S. said include the digital rules, are among the reasons for the hold-up of the statement, the newspaper said. Reuters could not immediately verify the report. The European Union, the White House and the State Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The statement had originally been expected days after the July announcement by EU President Ursula von der Leyen and U.S. President Donald Trump, according to FT. The July deal imposed a 15% import tariff on most EU goods - half the initially threatened rate - and helped avert a broader trade war between the two allies, who together account for nearly a third of global trade. The U.S. wanted to keep the door open for possible concessions on the EU's Digital Services Act (DSA), which Washington says stifles free speech and imposes costs on U.S. tech companies, according to FT, which added that the commission has said that relaxing these rules is a red line. The EU's DSA is a landmark law meant to make the online environment safer and fairer by compelling tech giants to do more to tackle illegal content, including hate speech and child sexual abuse material. The commission had anticipated that Trump would sign an executive order by August 15 to cut tariffs on EU car exports to the U.S. from 27.5% to 15%. However, a U.S. official signaled that this would be delayed until the joint statement was finalized, according to FT.

US cancels India trade talks scheduled for August, NDTV Profit says
(Reuters) -A planned visit by U.S. trade negotiators to New Delhi from August 25-29 has been canceled, delaying talks on a proposed bilateral trade agreement, Indian business and financial news network NDTV Profit reported on Saturday, citing people familiar with the matter. The current round of negotiations for the proposed bilateral trade agreement is now likely to be deferred to another date, the report said, dashing hopes of some relief before the Aug. 27 deadline for the additional tariff on Indian goods kicks in. Reuters could not immediately verify the report. Earlier this month, U.S. President Donald Trump imposed an additional 25% tariff on Indian goods, citing New Delhi's continued imports of Russian oil in a move that sharply escalated tensions between the two nations. The new import tax, which will come into effect from Aug 27, will raise duties on some Indian exports to as high as 50% - among the highest levied on any U.S. trading partner. Trade talks between New Delhi and Washington collapsed after five rounds of negotiations over disagreement on opening India's vast farm and dairy sectors and stopping Russian oil purchases. India's Foreign Ministry has said the country is being unfairly singled out for buying Russian oil while the United States and European Union continue to purchase goods from Russia.
