U.S. President Donald Trump departs the White House in Washington, D.C., U.S., May 1, 2026. Kevin Lamarque | Reuters President Donald Trump said Saturday the U.S. will significantly reduce its troop presence in Germany, escalating a dispute with Chancellor Friedrich Merz as he seeks to scale back America's commitment to European security. The Pentagon on Friday had initially announced it would pull some 5,000 troops out of Germany , but when asked Saturday about the reason for the move, Trump didn't offer an explanation and said an even bigger reduction was coming. "We're going to cut way down. And we're cutting a lot further than 5,000," Trump told reporters in Florida. Earlier on Saturday, Germany's defense minister appeared to take the news that 5,000 U.S. troops would be leaving his country in stride. Boris Pistorius said the drawdown, which Trump has threatened for years, was expected, and he said European nations needed to take on more responsibility for their own defense. But he also emphasized that security cooperation benefited both sides of the trans-Atlantic partnership. "The presence of American soldiers in Europe, and especially in Germany, is in our interest and in the interest of the U.S.," Pistorius told the German news agency dpa. The plan faces bipartisan resistance The planned withdrawal faced bipartisan resistance in Washington, with swift criticism from Democrats and concern from Republicans that it would send the "wrong signal" to Russian President Vladimir Putin, whose full-scale invasion of Ukraine recently entered its fifth year. Trump's decision comes as he seethes at European allies over their unwillingness to join his campaign with Israel against Iran. He has lashed out at leaders like Merz, Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer. Merz last week criticized the war in Iran, saying the U.S. is being "humiliated" by the Iranian leadership and calling out Washington's lack of strategy. In another sign of ...

The global nuclear energy renaissance we've been seeing in the past few years has been driven by a few different factors, but one of the biggest is the energy needs of artificial intelligence (AI). There was already a general push toward clean energy , but the rapid data center build-out to run AI programs has created an even larger demand for power. One of the most promising solutions to the data center problem is the small modular reactor (SMR). Continue reading

The list of Asian stocks that benefit from business partnership with Nvidia Corp. is getting longer, as the region further integrates into the AI chip giant’s business ecosystem.

The list of Asian stocks that benefit from business partnership with Nvidia Corp. is getting longer, as the region further integrates into the AI chip giant’s business ecosystem. Just in the past week, South Korea’s LG Electronics Inc. , Taiwan’s Nanya Technology Corp. , as well as China’s Huizhou Desay SV Automotive Co. and Pateo Connect Technology Shanghai Corp. have become the latest to rally on news of tie-ups, supply-chain participation or product collaboration with the US chip designer. Investor enthusiasm about these firms, some of which are relatively obscure outside the industry or domestic markets, is a reminder of how Nvidia-induced demand is shaping stock performance across Asia’s technology supply chain. Asian suppliers now account for about 90% of Nvidia’s production costs, up from roughly 65% last year, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The explosive growth of the chip designer’s products has intensified its reliance on Asian partners that dominate manufacturing, assembly and key components. “It’s inevitable that global tech companies like Nvidia will continue to ramp up their reliance on Asia supply chain,” said Vey-Sern Ling , managing director at Union Bancaire Privee. Physical AI “can add on top of the already burgeoning demand from Asia’s supply chains for AI chips,” he added. Nvidia has expanded its roster of Asian partners in recent years, primarily through deeper chip-focused ties with suppliers such as SK Hynix Inc. and Samsung Electronics Co. While those partnerships concentrated on scaling AI computing power, the latest wave of collaborations in the region pointed to a shift beyond semiconductors into physical AI, including robotics. Shares of LG Electronics jumped as much as 15% on Tuesday, their biggest intraday gain since Feb. 11, following a domestic media report that the firm and Nvidia will discuss a plan to integrate its home robot with the US chip designer’s platform. In Taiwan, Nanya Technology’s shares surged 10% after a lo...

First US Integrated Humanoid Robot Factory To Build 100,000 NEO Robots By 2027 Authored by Neetika Walter via Interesting Engineering , U.S.-based robotics firm 1X has started full-scale production of its humanoid robot NEO at a new manufacturing facility in Hayward, California. The factory marks a key step toward commercializing general-purpose humanoid robots designed for home use. The company says the robots are built to safely operate alongside humans and assist with everyday tasks such as mobility support, light household activity, and routine interaction. NEO robot units working at the NEO Factory in Hayward, California. 1X on YouTube Spanning 58,000 square feet, the facility currently employs more than 200 workers and is expected to expand further as production scales . It has the capacity to produce up to 10,000 robots annually, with plans to increase output beyond 100,000 units by 2027. The setup is designed for rapid iteration as hardware and AI systems evolve. The company has already seen strong early demand. It said its first-year production capacity of over 10,000 units sold out within five days of launch in October, signaling early commercial interest in humanoid home robotics. Full-stack manufacturing push A key feature of the factory is its vertically integrated production model. 1X designs and manufactures core components in-house, including motors, batteries, sensors, structures, and transmission systems. This approach allows the company to control the entire production process, from raw material handling to final assembly. It also reduces reliance on external suppliers and supports faster iteration cycles, especially for hardware upgrades and safety improvements. “ We’re building the world’s safest, most reliable humanoid robots—right here in Hayward, California, ” said Vikram Kothari, VP of Manufacturing & Hardware. The company says its setup includes automated motor manufacturing lines and systems that handle precision tasks such as copper coil ...

April was a generally strong month for U.S. stocks, with the S&P 500 index gaining nearly 10%. As ever, though, a rising market doesn't guarantee a rising share price. One notable outlier during the month was do-it-yourself web design company Wix.com (NASDAQ: WIX) , which fell by more than 17%. Much of the decline was due to a new product rollout from high-profile artificial intelligence (AI) model developer Anthropic. After several weeks of speculation, the company formally announced the rollout of Claude Design. This is an AI-powered product that, in its maker's words, allows users "to create polished visual work like designs, prototypes, slides, one-pagers, and more." Image source: Getty Images.
