According to Global Times, on July 23 local time, US President Trump delivered a keynote speech at the Artificial Intelligence Summit held in Washington D.C., and signed three executive orders regarding AI, declaring to make the United States "a country of artificial intelligence exports."
In his speech, Trump mentioned Susie Wiles, the White House Chief of Staff who also attended the summit, and introduced her by saying: "Susie Wiles, the White House Chief of Staff, she can bring down a country with just one phone call."
He added: "Now, people have just named her as one of the most powerful women in the world. I think she might be the most powerful person in the world. Isn't she doing a good job?"
Trump did not specify which ranking this referred to. In December last year, Forbes ranked Wiles among the most influential women in the world, placing her 72nd.
It is reported that Trump's above remarks are almost identical to what he said about Wiles during a White House summer party on June 4 local time.
At that time, Trump said: "I want to thank this outstanding Chief of Staff, people say she is the most powerful woman in the world."
He also added: "I was going to say that she can bring down a country with just one phone call, but we won't mention that, because we are a peaceful country."
Wiles, 67 years old, is the first female White House Chief of Staff in American history. As a veteran in Florida politics, she helped Trump win the state in the 2016 campaign, and in 2018 she also led Ron DeSantis' campaign for the governor of Florida. However, later they had a falling out, leading DeSantis to successfully lobby the Trump team to fire her. Soon after, Wiles was recalled by the Trump team to participate in the 2020 campaign in Florida.
During his victory speech, Trump specifically thanked Wiles and asked her to come on stage, shaking hands with her. Trump called her the "Ice Maiden" because she seemed more inclined to operate behind the scenes, while others refer to her as "the most feared and least known political figure in America."
