Italy will join the US-led Pax Silica initiative on artificial intelligence supply chains, despite a public disagreement between Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and US President Donald Trump.
Pax Silica Initiative
The Pax Silica initiative is a US State Department program that brings together allied countries to secure AI-related supply chains, covering areas such as energy, critical minerals, advanced manufacturing, and AI models.
Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani and US Secretary of State Marco Rubio are expected to sign a memorandum of understanding at the first available opportunity, according to Ambassador Armando Varricchio.
The European Commission joined the initiative on Thursday, and the Netherlands signed up earlier in the week.
