In contrast, Europe received only $6.4 billion, and Asia even less at $3 billion. U.S. policies under President Trump have complicated the landscape for foreign students and sci-tech grants, prompting criticism from leading AI figures. Nonetheless, the venture capital landscape starkly favors North American firms, even as Europe seeks to bolster its own AI initiatives.
