[Could AI undermine confidence in the banking system?] Yeah, probably. But it could also be the kind of technology that allows greatness in the banking system, makes it better and safer and more secure. [...] [Should the government have safeguards on AI technology, a "kill switch"?] There should be. [...] We've got to be careful.AI Verified source (2026)

Quote attributed to Donald J. Trump, from an April 2026 Fox Business Network interview. The source_url (usnews.com) returned HTTP 403 to direct WebFetch, but a web search confirmed the quote verbatim across many outlets (US News, Reuters/StreetInsider, MarketScreener, etc.): asked if AI could undermine confidence in banking he said "Yeah, probably. But it could also be the kind of technology that allows greatness in the banking system, makes it better and safer and more secure," and asked whether government should have a "kill switch" he said "There should be... We've got to be careful." Attribution correct, year 2026, relevant. Vote "for" on statement 441 (require large datacenters to install kill switches for AI containment) aligns: Trump explicitly endorses government AI safeguards / a kill switch.
