Last week, we lowered the close to 2,100,000-pound Basemat into place — the foundation for the G7's first Small Modular Reactor and Canada's first new nuclear build in more than 30 years. One of the largest crawler cranes in the world lowered the Basemat module into the reactor shaft at the Darlington New Nuclear Project site — 35 metres below ground. It’s the first time in Canada a foundation for a reactor building was assembled modularly – putting the “M” in SMR – as the giant component was fabricated, welded, and put together in one piece before being lifted into place. This was a milestone months in the making, requiring significant attention to detail and safety, as well as the hard work of dedicated trades and project partners. Piece by piece, we're continuing to build one of the largest and most complex clean energy projects in Canada today. Learn more:

We’ve gone critical. At 12:20 am on July 4th, Aalo sustained a controlled fission chain reaction for the first time. We have officially surpassed the goal of President Trump’s Executive Order 14301, achieving 4 advanced nuclear reactor criticalities by America’s 250th birthday. This is a zero-power criticality to validate our supply chain, reactor physics and control systems for our 10 MWe full-powered reactor, the Aalo-X, targeting power operations next year. Everything was built at full scale: fuel, moderator, control systems, etc., so we understand system performance at its commercial scope. That also meant tackling four of the most difficult things in nuclear with this criticality milestone: ✅ Ground-up construction of our reactor facility ✅ Manufacturing the reactor in our factory and shipping them by road ✅ Assembling our own fuel assemblies using commercial UO2 ✅ Standing up training, safety, and operational programs to become our own nuclear operator I am proud to say we have accomplished all four goals, along with achieving criticality. The reactor building was constructed in 36 days and construction to criticality was achieved in under 8 months. That’s the fastest nuclear build in the last 80 years. A massive congratulations to the Aalo Atomics team and our partners. Many thanks to Idaho National Laboratory, the DOE-Idaho Operations Office, and the Office of Nuclear Energy for their immense support in enabling this milestone and dedicated to the American nuclear resurgence.

Ontario is investing $1 billion to build the roads to the Ring of Fire in partnership with First Nations. It’s time for the federal government to step up and join us with real funding for these roads, so we can connect remote First Nations and protect Canadian workers.

48 hours abroad. Two nations — UK & Bulgaria. One massive deal for Ontario. In Bulgaria, Ontario secured a large-scale nuclear support agreement worth hundreds of millions to support the build-out of two new nuclear reactors 🇨🇦🇧🇬 In the UK, we laid the groundwork for a critical mineral partnership agreement with Argentina and turned heads with global investors as we unapologetically promoted Canada's ethical resources to the world.

Ontario’s 2026 budget includes a $1.1 billion tax cut for small businesses, delivering on our promise to build a more competitive provincial economy that can stand up to tariffs. As we cut taxes, we’re also investing record amounts in infrastructure, education and health care, so we can deliver the services Ontario families depend on.

Iraq's PM al-Zaidi: Our ambition is for Iraq to be a global hub for energy production and to leverage its potential to promote regional and international security and stability in a sustainable manner. We are working to diversify our oil export ports and develop energy corridors linking Iraq, Türkiye, Jordan, and Syria in order to reach global markets, with the aim of contributing to energy security and diversified supply routes.

The Department of Energy has formally approved our Preliminary Documented Safety Analysis (PDSA) for the Mark-0 reactor—our first demonstration reactor, scheduled to go live before July 4, 2026. Mark-0 will validate fueling operations, reactor controls, and core physics. This demonstration is a critical step toward generating electricity from advanced microreactors. Mark-0 uses a full-scale core and the same facility and fuel that will support our next reactor test in 2027. The PDSA defines the preliminary safety basis for the reactor, facility, and planned operations, demonstrating that our approach meets DOE expectations at this stage. This approval validates our safety case and establishes a clear pathway to final acceptance as we prepare for fabrication, assembly, and installation. Mark-0 will be tested at Idaho National Laboratory in Building 793—now the Reactors and Critical Experiments facility—a site with deep nuclear history. Decades ago, this building housed ML-1, the Army’s first mobile nuclear reactor. Today, it supports the next generation of deployable nuclear power. We find the historical relevance fitting and inspiring, as Antares develops a similar-scale microreactor to meet Army operational and installation needs. Since 2024, we’ve worked to establish this facility as an enduring testbed, enabling rapid progress without the need for groundbreaking construction. We’re grateful for our partners at DOE and INL, and for leaders like Congressman Mike Simpson who continue to support the American nuclear renaissance.

'We need a trillion-dollar investment in manufacturing in the next decade.' Ashish Dhawan says that's the only way India can create 40-50 million jobs and take exports from $450 billion to $2 trillion. Speaking to Shereen Bhan on Young Turks Reloaded, the ChrysCapital founder argues that India is finally at a manufacturing inflection point. 'Manufacturing FDI is only $20-$22 billion... that's the number to focus on because that creates jobs, brings new technology and puts factories.' With stronger infrastructure, improving industrial policy and global supply chains looking beyond China, Dhawan believes 'the enabling conditions are much better' for entrepreneurs to build in India.

Relations between the EU and the Philippines are on a positive trajectory. Today, we are upgrading our ties towards an Enhanced Partnership. This means closer coordination on foreign and security issues, as well as on areas that matter to our citizens - from trade to climate, digital and connectivity. We also make available the first-ever European Peace Facility assistance measure for the Philippine Armed Forces, worth €15 million. It is the first-ever support to be implemented in the Indo-Pacific and a clear sign that Europe is stepping up as a security partner in the region. My remarks in Manila with Ma. Theresa P. Lazaro ↓

I spent years working to bring Micron to Upstate NY, and with the passage of my CHIPS & Science Law, I delivered billions to make it happen. I’m proud to announce Micron’s groundbreaking at its new manufacturing site in Clay, New York! This will be a transformative $100 BILLION investment, creating 50,000 jobs, building the most advanced chip manufacturing site in the world, right here in Syracuse. We’re bringing manufacturing home and putting New York first!

We're lifting the turnover threshold from $2 million to $10 million, so all active small businesses qualify for the 50% capital gains tax discount. That’s in addition to existing generous tax concessions for small businesses that will not change, and new small business supports announced in the Budget. And we're continuing to work with startups to make sure Australia is the best place to build something new. A fair crack for first home buyers, and tax cuts for working people are at the heart of our reforms and that won’t change.
