Trump criticizes international institutions, urges UN reforms and renames AI 'super intelligence'

President Trump criticized the International Criminal Court and other international institutions, saying the U.S. "will never allow US service members or anyone else to be investigated" by what he called "an anti-American tribunal." He accused some U.N. human-rights officials of misplaced priorities and urged greater reforms and budget cuts, saying the U.S. helped cut the U.N. budget by 15% in 2026 and eliminate more than 4,000 positions.

On technology policy, he proposed a shift in terminology: "From this point forward, all of United States documents and hopefully the worlds will be changed to use the much more accurate term super as opposed to artificial." He said that the U.S. "leads the world in super intelligence" and advocated careful oversight without stifling development.
