The United States took the first formal step on Friday to consolidate a new international alliance in technology by holding the summit of the Pax Silica Initiative, a project promoted by the State Department and backed by President Donald Trump, whose objective is to strengthen the security of supply chains and reduce dependence on strategic sectors considered vulnerable.
Within the framework of this initiative, President Trump announced that this week an agreement on semiconductors will be signed between the United States, Japan, Australia, Singapore, and South Korea.
The president explained from the Oval Office that the lack of such a pact would have favored China, in a context of intense global competition for control of key technologies such as semiconductors and artificial intelligence.
The Pax Silica Initiative seeks to establish close cooperation among countries with advanced technology industries to boost economic development linked to artificial intelligence and ensure safe and reliable access to critical resources.

Among the strategic assets identified by the signatory countries are high-performance computing, silicon resources, critical minerals, and energy supply, considered essential for the sustained growth of modern economies.
The summit, organized in Washington, also included the participation of representatives from the Netherlands, United Arab Emirates, Canada, and the European Union, which reinforces the multilateral nature of the initiative.
According to the State Department, the discussions will focus on designing a common policy aimed at strengthening the semiconductor industry and promoting reliable technological systems in areas such as advanced manufacturing, digital connectivity, and energy supply.
According to the official statement, one of the main pillars of the meeting will be the reduction of dependence on fragile supply chains, as well as the protection of critical points within the shared technological infrastructure.

The participating countries will analyze alternatives to foster industrial ecosystems based on innovation, resilience, and mutual trust, in order to prevent disruptions that could affect production and technological development.
Trump emphasized the strategic value of semiconductors and artificial intelligence as pillars of global economic competitiveness and defended the need to act in a coordinated manner with key allies. In this regard, he warned that inaction would have allowed China to consolidate a dominant position in essential technology sectors, which could translate into significant economic and geopolitical advantages.
The State Department specified that the summit agenda will not be limited to cooperation on semiconductors, but will also include digital connectivity, the development of new manufacturing technologies, and shared energy objectives.

The statement highlighted the importance of "exploring multidimensional alliances to strengthen supply chain security, reduce coercive dependencies, and protect critical infrastructures."
The initiative is being launched in a context of growing international rivalry for leadership in artificial intelligence and advanced technology. The countries participating in the "Pax Silica" summit concentrate a substantial share of the world's capacity for the development and production of semiconductors, which gives this forum significant strategic weight.
According to official sources, by promoting secure and collaborative technological environments, the participating nations seek to ensure the sustainable development of key industries and protect the continuous supply of critical materials and next-generation technological products, thus consolidating a coordinated response to the challenges of the global digital economy.
