Power Play: New Executive Order Targets Electrical Grid Equipment

On August 26, 2026, President Trump issued EO 14420, prohibiting the acquisition, importation, transfer, or installation of foreign-produced bulk-power system electric equipment that meet certain criteria.

It directs updated AI management, acquisition, and use policies and seeks to compel AI companies to comply with Trump administration policies.  It calls for expanded training and enhanced security in collaboration with the private sector and orders the “termination for default or for convenience” of government contracts with AI companies that wish to limit how the government uses their products.
