CNN reports the US Navy has been advancing plans since early this year to rename the in-construction carrier CVN-81, currently christened Doris Miller, and has internally discussed naming it for President Trump, three people told the network. Two sources said internal proposals specifically suggested the Trump name. The carrier was named Doris Miller during Trump’s first term; delivery is scheduled for 2034.

USTR says it is confident it can commence negotiations on reciprocal trade with Colombia.

At the World Robot Conference on Aug. 20, 2026, Yushu Technology chairman, general manager and chief technology officer Wang Xingxing said the firm is concentrating its largest current capital and headcount investment on AI models and publicly outlined a "physical AI robot self-evolution" initiative. The program seeks to build a self-evolving physical-robot model system that leverages frontier large models to define rules, experience constraints and tool boundaries; the models will autonomously retrieve leading papers, high-quality research and open-source solutions and automatically generate robot control code. Wang noted AI is widely used in programming and development but remains underutilized in robotics, motivating the effort.
