Helberg launches Pax Silica: a coalition built around compute, silicon, minerals, and energy.
At the inaugural Pax Silica Summit, the State Department signs a declaration with capable partners around the supply-chain stack of the AI revolution.
Pax Silica is advancing President Donald J. Trump's call for a new era of economic statecraft that produces peace and security for America and its allies through the power of private investment, free enterprise, and economics. This is the first time countries are organizing around compute, silicon, minerals, and energy as shared strategic assets.
The Pax Silica launch is the doctrine made multilateral. A U.S.-organized coalition of capable partners agrees to coordinate on the physical and digital stack the AI economy runs on. American legal architecture supplies the operating rules. Allied territory and capital supply the ground.
The framing as positive sum rather than containment matters. Pax Silica is not designed to isolate adversaries by exclusion. It is designed to give partners who choose alignment a faster, cleaner path to participation in the buildout that follows. That choice architecture is what makes the coalition durable when individual deals get hard.
