Technology Directives

Regarding the Acquisition of Certain Assets of Emcore Corporation by Hiefo Corporation

The document is a Presidential Order issued under the authority of the Defense Production Act, prohibiting HieFo Corporation, which is controlled by a citizen of the People's Republic of China, from retaining its acquisition of EMCORE Corporation's digital chip assets, deemed a threat to U.S. national security.

The order mandates that HieFo must divest all interests and rights in the acquired assets within 180 days under the supervision and verification of the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS), while immediately restricting access to the assets and related technical information until the divestment is complete.

This Presidential Memorandum directs various cabinet secretaries and agency heads to ensure the United States leads global development of the next generation of mobile communications networks (6G), establishing it as foundational to national security and economic prosperity.

The action explicitly mandates studies for relocating Federal systems away from the 7.125-7.4 GHz spectrum band to enable its designation for commercial 6G use, while also initiating studies for other bands (2.69-2.9 GHz and 4.4-4.94 GHz).

Furthermore, the Secretary of State is ordered to engage diplomatically to advance U.S. objectives in international standards bodies concerning 6G.

ENSURING AMERICAN SPACE SUPERIORITY

This Presidential Action establishes comprehensive policy priorities to assert United States superiority in space, focusing on four key areas: leading exploration through a return to the Moon by 2028 and establishing a permanent lunar outpost by 2030; securing national and economic security interests against space threats; fostering a robust commercial space economy projected to attract $50 billion in new investment by 2028; and developing advanced capabilities, including deploying lunar nuclear power by 2030.

The order outlines specific implementation timelines, assigns coordination roles to various White House offices and agency heads, mandates significant reforms to NASA and Commerce acquisition processes, and supersedes prior related directives, including the revocation of Executive Order 14056.

Ensuring a National Policy Framework for Artificial Intelligence

This Presidential Action establishes the policy that the United States must sustain global Artificial Intelligence (AI) dominance through a minimally burdensome national framework, overriding conflicting state regulations that threaten innovation.

The order mandates the creation of an AI Litigation Task Force within the Justice Department to challenge specific state AI laws deemed unlawful or unduly burdensome.

Furthermore, it directs the Department of Commerce and the Federal Trade Commission to evaluate existing state laws—identifying those that compel alterations to truthful AI outputs—and establishes mechanisms to restrict federal funding for states maintaining conflicting regulations, while instructing staff to prepare a unified legislative recommendation for Congress.

Launching the Genesis Mission

This Presidential Action establishes the "Genesis Mission," a major national effort coordinated by the Assistant to the President for Science and Technology (APST) and largely implemented by the Secretary of Energy (the DOE), to accelerate scientific discovery using Artificial Intelligence (AI).

The mission focuses on creating the American Science and Security Platform, which will integrate federal scientific datasets and high-performance computing resources to train scientific foundation models, test hypotheses, and automate research workflows across critical national challenges such as clean energy, advanced manufacturing, and biotechnology.

The action mandates coordination across executive agencies, outlines specific timelines for establishing the platform's infrastructure and identifying priority challenges, and encourages strong public-private partnerships under rigorous security and data-sharing protocols.

FOSTERING THE FUTURE FOR AMERICAN CHILDREN AND FAMILIES

This Presidential Action establishes the 'Fostering the Future' initiative, led by the Administration, designed to fundamentally modernize the nation's child welfare system.

The order directs the Secretary of Health and Human Services to improve data collection, implement modern technology, and create tools like an annual performance scorecard to enhance child well-being, reduce time in foster care, and accelerate permanent placements.

Furthermore, the order mandates the creation of new educational and employment pathways for youth aging out of the system and addresses policies that may restrict faith-based organizations from participating in federally-funded child welfare programs.

National Cybersecurity Awareness Month, 2025

This Presidential Proclamation officially designates October 2025 as National Cybersecurity Awareness Month, underscoring the Administration's dedication to strengthening national cybersecurity against foreign and criminal cyber threats.

The document references prior actions, including an Executive Order aimed at securing federal software development and adopting encryption, and highlights support for legislation protecting children online. It concludes by urging all citizens, companies, and institutions to participate in cybersecurity education and take personal protective measures like using strong passwords and multi-factor authentication.

National Manufacturing Day, 2025

This Presidential Proclamation, issued by Donald J. Trump on October 3, 2025, officially designates that date as National Manufacturing Day, celebrating the American industrial base and workforce.

The document outlines the administration's efforts to boost domestic manufacturing through securing significant private investment, imposing reciprocal tariffs to protect against unfair foreign trade practices, eliminating what it terms burdensome regulations (specifically rejecting the 'Green New Scam agenda'), and enacting legislation like the 'One Big Beautiful Bill Act' to incentivize factory expansion, all aimed at ensuring the U.S. remains the world's leading industrial power.
