WASHINGTON, July 22 (Reuters) - U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has asked diplomats to push back against talk of a “kill switch” in American technology products following the White House’s short-lived decision to keep foreigners from America’s most advanced AI models, according to a recent cable reviewed by Reuters. The talking points, which were circulated worldwide, show how U.S. diplomats are trying to deal with international backlash from the Trump administration’s efforts to control how and to whom American AI companies release their models. The State Department declined to comment and the White House did not return a request for comment. https://www.reuters.com/legal/litigation/marco-rubio-tells-diplomats-play-down-talk-american-tech-kill-switch-2026-07-22/ submitted by /u/kaggleqrdl
