Was it banished to the dustbin of history when President Donald Trump took office? Recent developments suggest it has shapeshifted and is proceeding at breakneck speed under the guise of a program to promote technological advancements and global trade agreements.

In December 2025, the U.S. State Department announced Pax Silica, a U.S.-led global initiative to secure supply chains for advanced technologies, including semiconductors, artificial intelligence, and critical minerals, and to counter China’s monopoly on rare earth minerals and AI infrastructure. Echoing Pax Americana and the Iron Curtain of the 20th century, Pax Silica is a coalition of countries united in building an economic fortress around critical technologies — a silicon Iron Curtain — to ensure geostrategic dominance.

The coalition is based on contributions to the AI ecosystem rather than on geographic location:

As its leader, the U.S. will provide capital and........
