Launch of Pax Silica
Under Secretary Jacob Helberg launches the Pax Silica initiative to build economic security consensus among allies for secure supply chains in critical minerals, semiconductors, and AI infrastructure.
The US-led Pax Silica pact now includes 19 signatories committed to controlling the full AI stack, raising alarms that space-based assets—from AI-driven satellite navigation to secure comms—will fall under Washington's tech hegemony, leaving non-signatories like France scrambling for indigenous alternatives.
The US State Department’s Pax Silica pact expands to 24 nations and launches an AI credentialing platform in Panama, directly targeting the semiconductors and critical minerals essential for defense and space systems. By creating a trusted trade lane through the Panama Canal, the initiative aims to protect military and space-tech supply chains from geopolitical disruption.
