President Donald Trump secured $2 trillion worth of deals with Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the UAE during his trip to the Middle East last week in what some have argued is a move to counter Chinas influence in the region.While China has increasingly bolstered its commercial ties with top Middle Eastern nations who have remained steadfast in their refusal to pick sides amid growing geopolitical tension between Washington and Beijing, Trump may have taken steps to give the U.S. an edge over its chief competitor.But concern has mounted after Trump reversed a Biden-era policy which banned the sale of AI-capable chips to the UAE and Saudi Arabia that highly coveted U.S. technologies could potentially fall into the hands of Chinese companies, and in extension, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).TRUMP SIGNS 'STRATEGIC ECONOMIC PARTNERSHIP' WITH SAUDI ARABIAChina hawks on both sides of the aisle noted their concern after Trump entered into an agreement with the UAE to build the largest artificial intelligence hub outside the United States, coupled with the tens of billions of dollars worth of deals U.S. companies like Nvidia, ChatGPT, Google, Amazon and Qualcomm entered into with state-backed Saudi AI ventures, including direct chip sales."This deal could very well be dangerous because we have no clarity on how the Saudis and Emiratis will prevent the Chinese Communist Party, the Chinese government, the Chinese manufacturing establishment from getting their hands on these chips," Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer said on the Senate floor last week."Inevitably, when foreign countries end up with American-made chips, the CCP, the Chinese Communist Party, sooner or later gets ahold of these American chips and their secrets in them," he said. "Thats why weve had such strong restrictions against exporting these chips to other counties."Similarly, following the announced deals, Republican chair of the House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party, Rep. John Moolenaar, R-Mich., took to X to say, "The CCP is actively seeking indirect access to our top tech. Deals like this require scrutiny and verifiable guardrails."We raised concerns about G42 last year for this very reasonand we need safeguards in place before more agreements move forward," he added in reference to an Emirati AI development holding company.TRUMP WRAPS MOMENTOUS MIDDLE EAST TRIP WITH ECONOMIC DEALS, SYRIA SANCTIONS RELIEF AND WARNING TO IRANBy the end of Trumps trip, the House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party had introduced new legislation "to stop advanced U.S. AI chips from falling into the hands of adversaries like the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).""The ambition is understandable drawing the Gulf states deeper into the U.S. tech ecosystem is a logical way to counterbalance Chinas growing influence," Craig Singleton, China Program Senior Director and Senior Fellow with the Foundation for Defense of Democracies told Fox News Digital. "But the devil is in the details."Without rigorous safeguards and clear conditions on technology transfer, theres a real risk of leakage whether its advanced chips, know-how, or access to AI platforms," he warned. "If these deals lack meaningful restrictions, they could end up strengthening the very actors theyre meant to contain."The Commerce Department did not immediately respond to Fox News Digitals questions on AI security.While questions remain about the future of AI security, some reports suggested that the expanded U.S. agreements could help cement the U.S. as the global leader in the emerging technology and help shape its landscape.But China has interests outside of AI in the region that pertain to security, economic and energy sectors all of which the U.S. has a vested interest in deterring.Trump was the first president in nearly 20 years to visit the UAE, which security experts have told Fox News Digital will go a long way to further not only geopolitical goodwill amid major unrest stemming from the wars in Gaza and Ukraine, but it could even further bolster economic and security opportunities between Washington and Abu Dahbi."Trump showing up and re-committing American military and economic power to support the UAEs stability, security, and success in a dangerous neighborhood can pay real dividends going forward," John Hannah, former national security advisor to Dick Cheney and current Randi & Charles Wax senior fellow at the Jewish Institute for National Security of America (JINSA), told Fox News Digital."Since at least the time of President Obamas nuclear deal with Iran, theres been a slow, but noticeable drift in UAE strategy away from its deep reliance on the United States toward more of a hedging policy of playing all sides of the global great game, including an increasingly close relationship with China," he added.Hannah explained that a period of American weariness of the Middle East enabled China to effectively expand its geopolitical interests in the vital region.The expert pointed out that not only does the UAE host U.S. troops on its soil, but its trade value with the U.S. even prior to the $1.4 trillion deal it reached earlier this year was worth some $35 billion annually."With a country as influential and resource-rich as the UAE, correcting that unhelpful perception and putting the strategic relationship back on a much more positive dynamic is an important goal," Hannah said.Fox News Digital could not immediately reach the UAE foreign ministry for comment.

Imagine having a tireless guardian watching over you during your subway commute. It notices every detail with steady focus, all with one goal in mind: keeping you safe on the subway.New York City's subway system is testing artificial intelligence to boost security and reduce crime. Michael Kemper, a 33-year NYPD veteran and the chief security officer for the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA), which is the largest transit agency in the United States, is leading the rollout of AI software designed to spot suspicious behavior as it happens.The MTA says this technology represents the future of subway surveillance and reassures riders that privacy concerns are being taken seriously.JOIN THE FREE CYBERGUY REPORT: GET MY EXPERT TECH TIPS, CRITICAL SECURITY ALERTS AND EXCLUSIVE DEALS, PLUS INSTANT ACCESS TO MYFREE ULTIMATE SCAM SURVIVAL GUIDE WHEN YOU SIGN UP!WHAT IS ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI)?The AI system will analyze real-time camera feeds across subway platforms and train cars to detect unusual or potentially dangerous behaviors. Instead of identifying individuals, the technology focuses on behavior patterns that might signal trouble, such as erratic movements or confrontations. When the AI flags something suspicious, it can alert transit police to respond quickly, which could help prevent crimes before they escalate.Currently, about 40% of subway cameras are monitored live by staff. The AI aims to expand this coverage without needing additional personnel, which could enhance safety across the system. While details about the AI providers and full deployment timelines have not been shared, the MTA emphasizes that facial recognition technology will not be part of this system. This is intended to protect rider privacy.WHAT HACKERS CAN LEARN ABOUT YOU FROM A DATA BROKER FILEDON'T MISS OUT ON THESE MEMORIAL DAY BEST DEALS & DISCOUNTSCrime in NYC subways has seen ups and downs over recent years. While major crimes dropped by about 7.7% through mid-2024, assaults have unfortunately increased. To bolster safety, New York Gov. Kathy Hochul deployed 1,000 National Guard members to support transit police efforts. AI technology is viewed as a complementary tool in this broader strategy to keep subways safe, not a standalone solution.'DELUSIONAL' NYC POLITICIANS CALLED OUT BY GUARDIAN ANGELS FOUNDER OVER SUBWAY VIOLENCE: 'SLAP IN THE FACE'AI CYBORG PATROLS STREETS WITH LIVE 360-DEGREE TRACKINGNew York is not alone in exploring AI for transit security. Cities like Los Angeles and Chicago have experimented with AI-powered cameras for tasks ranging from weapons detection to issuing parking citations. These initiatives reflect a growing interest in using technology to enhance public safety in transit environments.SUBSCRIBE TO KURTS YOUTUBE CHANNEL FOR QUICK VIDEO TIPS ON HOW TO WORK ALL OF YOUR TECH DEVICESWhile the promise of AI surveillance is encouraging, several questions remain unanswered. We do not yet know exactly which behaviors the system will flag or how effective it will be in practice. Perhaps more importantly, privacy advocates and civil liberties groups warn about potential biases in AI systems and the risk of false positives that could unfairly target certain groups.The MTA's decision to exclude facial recognition is a positive step, but ongoing transparency and oversight will be crucial. Michael Kemper's extensive experience leading the NYPD's Transit Bureau, where he helped reduce subway crime, adds credibility to the initiative. Still, as this technology rolls out, balancing safety with privacy and fairness will be key to earning public trust.Would you trust AI to watch over you in the subway or are you more concerned about your privacy?

Pete Rose is finally eligible for the National Baseball Hall of Fame, but he may not be as much of a lock as people think he is.Rose's on-field resume speaks for itself - he is MLB's all-time hit king, won three World Series and was a 17-time All-Star with a career .303 batting average.However, his gambling spurned his baseball life.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMIn 1989, amid accusations Rose had bet on the game while he was playing and managing, he was handed down a lifetime ban from the game. Two years later, the Hall of Fame said that anyone on baseball's ineligible list would not be eligible to be voted on.However, MLB announced earlier this month that ineligibility ends after death, thus making Rose a candidate for Cooperstown. In all likelihood, Rose will get in, but some will always feel a type of way - including current All-Star shortstop Gunnar Henderson."He's obviously one of the game's greatest hitters. I don't know. I get it, but at the same time, he's one of the game's greatest players of all time. Leader in hits. Glad to see it, but also get both sides of it," the Baltimore Orioles star said in a recent interview with Fox News Digital, but Henderson eventually begrudged.FORMER MLB PLAYER SUING EX-DIVISION RIVAL OVER CAREER-ENDING INJURY: 'OBVIOUS AND AVOIDABLE RISK'"I would let him in. I mean, he's just too great of a player to not be in it," he obliged.Henderson spoke to Fox News Digital on behalf of VKTRY, as he has been wearing their insoles since spring training. He said he saw their ads on Instagram, wore them, and never looked back."I was kind of intrigued by the idea behind it and the science behind it. So it was really cool when I had the opportunity to join the team," he said. "I kind of tested them out in spring training this year. For me, stability is a big thing, especially in the infield, in the box. That was the biggest thing I had to check off the list, and they passed the test."Henderson is batting .301 with an .883 OPS in his last 23 games, so it is easy to see why he is a fan VKTRY insoles. However, he is going to have to wear them for a long time if he has any hopes of catching up to Rose.Follow Fox News Digitalssports coverage on X,and subscribe tothe Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

A major prisoner swap between Russia and Ukraine is underway, a senior Ukrainian official said Friday.The swap is not yet finished, the official told the Associated Press, despite President Donald Trump declaring Friday that Russia and Ukraine completed a "major prisoners swap."The announcements come after Russian and Ukrainian officials took part in direct talks in Turkey last Friday for the first time since the early days of the war, agreeing to release around 1,000 prisoners of war."A major prisoners swap was just completed between Russia and Ukraine. It will go into effect shortly," Trump wrote on Truth Social. "Congratulations to both sides on this negotiation. This could lead to something big???"WILL VANCE REMARK ABOUT US BAILING ON UKRAINE ENCOURAGE PUTIN TO SINK NASCENT PEACE TALKS?On Thursday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy wrote on X that "I held a meeting on the preparation for an exchange" and "The agreement to release 1,000 of our people from Russian captivity was perhaps the only tangible result of the meeting in Turkey."Trump had a phone callwith Russian President Vladimir Putin on Monday. Following the conversation, Trump said "I believe it went very well.""Russia and Ukraine will immediately start negotiations toward a Ceasefire and, more importantly, an END to the War. The conditions for that will be negotiated between the two parties, as it can only be, because they know details of a negotiation that nobody else would be aware of," Trump said. "The tone and spirit of the conversation were excellent. If it wasnt, I would say so now, rather than later."PUTIN VISITS KURSK REGION FOR FIRST TIME SINCE BOOTING UKRAINIAN FORCES FROM TERRITORYPutin, in a statement after the call, also noted that "a ceasefire with Ukraine is possible" but noted that "Russia and Ukraine must find compromises that suit both sides."The Kremlin then said Thursday that both sides had no direct peace talks scheduled."There is no concrete agreement about the next meetings," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said, according to the Associated Press. "They are yet to be agreed upon."Fox News Digitals Morgan Phillips contributed to this report.

As the Secretary of Energy honored to play a role in implementing the historic agenda of President Trumps first term, it was deeply troubling to watch Joe Biden spend four years undoing that progress with a relentless war on American energy.President Biden failed to grasp that affordable, reliable energy is the cornerstone of fighting inflation, creating jobs, and ensuring our national security. His crackdown on all forms of energy left us weaker on all three fronts.Thankfully, the voters delivered a mandate last November, ushering President Trump back to restore Americas energy dominance and he has been putting on a clinic the last four months by ramping up homegrown energy production at an unprecedented pace.GOP LAWMAKERS MOVE TO ROLL BACK BIDEN-ERA ENERGY PROGRAMSBy declaring a National Energy Emergency on his first day in office, the President showed that reviving our energy capabilities is a top priority. He followed this by rescinding Bidens efforts to freeze domestic oil and natural gas production. And in April, the White House issued executive orders to increase coal production, safeguard the energy industry from state overreach, and protect an energy grid that had become increasingly unreliable during the prior administration.These actions have already led to a 12% year-over-year gas price reduction. And more relief is on the way. The reconciliation bill Republicans advanced in the House yesterday is packed with provisions championed by the president to drive a surge in domestic energy production. Some key measures include:While this is a powerful blueprint for growth, there is one significant shortfall: the bills approach to certain energy tax credits.The House budget bill indiscriminately phases out or repeals nearly every major tax credit from the so-called Inflation Reduction Actincluding credits for electricity generation (45Y and 48E), hydrogen production (45V), and advanced manufacturing (45X). While it may be sensible to phase out credits during a carefully planned transition period, it is not good policy to make abrupt changes that stifle investment and create uncertainty. With so much at stake right now, it is crucial that we do not eliminate the policies that support actual U.S. energy production and keep energy costs low.In the face of soaring demanddriven by AI, data centers, industrial reshoring, and electrificationevery molecule or megawatt we disincentivize contributes to market scarcity and rising costs. These are not academic choices, but critical price signals. Pulling energy production offline nowwhether fossil, renewable or otherwise makes America less secure and American consumers poorer.As Vice President Vance noted earlier this year, the surest way to fight Biden-era inflation is to lower energy costs that means growing, not shrinking, our domestic supply.CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINIONIts also important to acknowledge the economic reality: these credits are lowering consumer costs, creating hundreds of thousands of jobs, and supporting billions of dollars in private sector investmentmuch of it in Republican-led states. Gutting these incentives indiscriminately would strain the economy and risk political backlash in key districts at a time when conservative leadership has never been more necessary.President Trump understands this. Thats why he created the National Energy Dominance Council and embraced an all-of-the-above energy approach not as a slogan, but as a strategy. America wins when we produce everything: oil, gas, coal, nuclear, and renewables. Taking any of them off the table whether by regulation or tax policy weakens our position.We should celebrate the wins this administration has already delivered. But we shouldnt offset them by slashing energy tax credits that genuinely drive production, create jobs, and enhance our national security.The goal is dominance, not disruption. Congress should act accordingly.

As health-conscious Americans look for ways to eat better, there is a mobile app that shoppers can use to guide them at the grocery store, sometimes with surprising outcomes.Yuka is a free app that proponents of the Make America Healthy Again movement are embracing even U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr."I use Yuka," Kennedy told Fox News Digital in April.EVERYTHING TO KNOW ABOUT MAHADeveloped in France, Yuka expanded to the U.S. in 2022.It has been gaining ground, with about 25,000 new users each day, co-founder Julie Chapon told Fox News Digital. (See the video at the top of this article.)"I think consumers are really being more conscious now about what they want to eat and there is really this need to have access to more transparent information," said Chapon from New York City.Sam Stark, a public relations consultant in New York City, said she uses the app "about every other shopping trip, mostly when I'm considering adding something new to our meals.""My husband and I eat as [healthfully] as possible with minimal processed foods, but we also want variety," she told Fox News Digital."It's become a regular part of my shopping routine when I'm browsing unfamiliar products."Many times, Stark said, she'll avoid a food product that has scored poorly."I often use it to compare similar products, such as which granola is actually the healthiest option," she said."The results can be surprising.""I've limited and given up foods I really enjoyed as well, like this blue cheese dressing I loved, after seeing the rating. Sometimes the app tells you what you need to hear to make better choices."Stark also introduced her friend to Yuka.FARMERS COME FIRST AS INITIATIVE AIMS TO LOWER THEIR COSTS, GET FRESH FOOD TO AMERICANS MORE EFFICIENTLYCristina Cote, a New York-based real estate broker, told Fox News Digital that she uses the app every time she shops, "especially when exploring new products.""I appreciate Yuka as a tool to be mindful and make healthy choices," Cote said.She's also cut out products that score poorly on the app.'GOD-INTENDED FOODS' ARE KEY TO A HEALTHIER AMERICA, EXPERT SAYS"If I find out that a product I like is not well-rated, I will stop buying it and replace it with something healthier and [purer]," she said."It can be disheartening when you find out something you enjoy contains harmful ingredients."Yuka lets users scan the bar codes of food products, generating a score from one to 100 based on three criteria: nutritional quality (60% of the rating), the presence of additives (30%) and whether the product is organic (10%), Chapon said.AMERICAN NUTRITION A TOP PRIORITY FOR MAHA AS THE 'KNOWLEDGE DOC' WEIGHS INThe scores are then color-coded into four different categories: excellent (dark green), good (light green), poor (orange) and bad (red)."You also have access to a detailed information sheet on each product to understand why the rating is good or bad," Chapon said.If an item receives a poor or bad rating, Yuka recommends similar products with a better ranking."The app is 100% independent," Chapon said. "We receive absolutely no money from brands or manufacturers to influence our evaluations or recommendations."CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR LIFESTYLE NEWSLETTERAlthough Yuka isn't affiliated with MAHA, Chapon credits the increasingly popular movement for the app's ascent and for challenging the food industry."I think the MAHA movement has also fueled this interest," Chapon said.Yuka also has a feature that allows users to call out a food maker with a high-risk additive.Since the feature launched in November, more than 600,000 callouts have been made, Chapon said."A lot of brands have received a lot of emails and they are very mad," Chapon said. "But that's part of our mission and we know it's risky."Among the brands that have had dialogue with Yuka are Tru drinks and Chobani, Chapon said.For more Lifestyle articles, visit www.foxnews.com/lifestyleBoth companies "were really interested in improving their ratings and understanding why they don't have good ratings."Fox News Digital made multiple requests for comment to Tru drinks and Chobani about the app's rating system.Ultimately, Chapon said she hopes the app will "help people make better choices for their health" and "push manufacturers to improve what they put in their products.""We have many brands starting to really pay attention and trying to understand how they can do better. Sometimes they just don't realize they are using very controversial ingredients.""We are here to help them to improve," she added.Ashley DiMella of Fox News Digital contributed reporting.

Harvard is taking the Trump administration to court over its decision to terminate the universitys student visa program.Harvard said the policy will affect more than 7,000 visa holders and is a "blatant violation of the First Amendment, the Due Process Clause, and the Administrative Procedure Act," per its court filing.The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) moved to terminate the program after Harvard allegedly failed to provide it with the extensive behavioral records of student visa holders the department requested. DHS offered Harvard 72 hours on Thursday to come into compliance with the request.As of now, Harvard may no longer enroll foreign students in the 20252026 school year, and existing foreign students must transfer or lose their legal status to reside in the U.S. before the next academic year begins.The records requested include any footage of protest activity involving students on visas and the disciplinary records of all students on visas in the last five years.Requested records also include footage or documentation of illegal, dangerous or violent activity by student visa holders, any records of threats or the deprivation of rights of other students or university personnel.

Thursday night did not go well for the Chicago Sky, and it certainly was not a pleasant night for Angel Reese.The Sky went up against the reigning WNBA champions in the New York Liberty and fell, 99-74. However, it was a moment that occurred early in the game with Reese that was a preview, and somewhat of a microcosm, of the night.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMLess than three minutes into the game, Reese recorded five offensive rebounds in a 19-second span thanks to her own misses.Reese missed four shots from right underneath the basket, two of which were blocked. Reese finally kicked out a pass to Kia Nurse, but she missed the three-pointer, and it was a rebound Reese was unable to get.The moment quickly went viral on social media, with many making fun of Reese - one even said she was "not beating the allegations."The former LSU star averaged a double-double last season and set the WNBA record for the most rebounds in a single season (an injury cut her season short, and she was surpassed by A'ja Wilson). However, she has often been criticized in that the rebound stats are inflated due to missing layups and grabbing her own rebound.CAITLIN CLARK GETS CHIPPY WITH OPPONENT, DELIVERS A DAMNING MESSAGE: 'NOT SCARED'Reese wound up missing all eight of her shot attempts on the evening, scoring just two points and grabbing 12 rebounds - eight of them were offensive, and five of them had come in that sequence alone.It was the first time since 2021 that she failed to make at least one basket, ending a streak of 136 games, college and professional.Earlier in the season, Reese became the fastest player in WNBA history to record both 450 points and rebounds.Meanwhile, New York set a WNBA record with 19 three-pointers in their victory (the Las Vegas Aces once had 22 in a playoff game). Eight of nine Liberty players who attempted a 3-pointer made at least one from deep. Natasha Cloud and Kennedy Burke each hit four of them.New York shot 55% overall and made 16 of 17 free throws, a stark comparison to Reese's night.The Liberty play in Indiana against Caitlin Clark on Saturday, and Chicago visits Los Angeles on Sunday.

An NBA referee got one of the more brutal blows during a playoff game on Thursday night.During Game 2 of the Western Conference Finals between the Oklahoma City Thunder and Minnesota Timberwolves, longtime official Scott Foster was bloodied after taking a hit to the face.Foster was putting up a jump ball between Lu Dort and Julius Randle in the first quarter, and as Dort was coming back down, he rocked Foster right in the face.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMFoster immediately ran toward the scorer's table, holding his hand beneath his nose to stop blood from getting on the court.He was attended to by trainers and given towels before plugging his nose to stop the bleeding.Foster has been an NBA official since the 1994-95 season. He has often been dubbed as "the extender," because it has become rather notorious that teams that are trailing in a playoff season often win games he is officiating.CAITLIN CLARK GETS CHIPPY WITH OPPONENT, DELIVERS A DAMNING MESSAGE: 'NOT SCARED'He has also become rather synonymous with Chris Paul, who went 3-17 in playoff games officiated by Foster. Paul was sitting courtside when the injury occurred.The Thunder took a 2-0 series lead with the help of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who, 24 hours after being named the NBA's MVP, dropped 38 points. OKC won, 118-103."I feel like all my emotions were so high, but I was a little bit tired out there, especially at the start," Gilgeous-Alexander said. "I was a little too juiced up. Special moment. Im happy we won, so I can really enjoy the last couple days and soak it up. That really helps."Jalen Williams had 26 points and 10 rebounds, and Chet Holmgren added 22 points for the Thunder.Minnesota closed to within 10 in the final period, but Oklahoma City kept the Timberwolves at bay late.Anthony Edwards scored 32 points, but it took him 26 shots to get them. Jaden McDaniels scored 22 points, and Nickeil Alexander-Walker added 17 for the Timberwolves.Now, Minnesota gets to go home, where it is 4-1 in the playoffs.
