President Donald Trump’s administration says it has succeeded in maintaining America’s role as the leading global force in science and technology, according to a Tuesday report from the U.S. Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP).

The report, obtained exclusively by the Daily Caller, details the Trump administration’s actions to facilitate the development of artificial intelligence, 5G networks and quantum engineering.

The report also lists the administration’s ongoing priorities and goals for a potential second term, which includes returning Americans to the moon by 2024.

“The Trump Administration has taken historic action to ensure American leadership in emerging technologies. We’ve announced unprecedented investments in artificial intelligence and quantum information science, launched new workforce initiatives and public-private collaborations, and established first-of-their-kind international alliances to develop critical technologies with our allies,” U.S. Chief Technology Officer Michael Kratsios said in a statement to the DC. “Thanks to President Trump’s leadership, the next great innovations will be made here in America for the benefit of the American people.”

Trump’s administration has been aggressive in facing down foreign competitors in the 5G space. Several American cellular companies are investing heavily into the technology even as Chinese tech giant Huawei courts Western countries to use its 5G systems instead.

When the United Kingdom initially agreed to work with Huawei to build the nation’s 5G network, the Trump administration said the U.S. would be forced to limit intelligence sharing with the United Kingdom. U.S. security experts say any network Huawei creates would pose a massive security risk to those who use it, as Huawei is defacto controlled by the Chinese Communist Party.

U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson later reconsidered and the British government cut off its deal with Huawei. (RELATED: US Warns Germany To Steer Clear Of Huawei Or Pay A Stiff Price)

The OSTP report also detailed the Trump administration’s actions to curb Chinas theft of American intellectual property, which has been estimated to cost U.S. companies $600 billion annually. Trump signed a proclamation in May banning Chinese nationals from enrolling in U.S. graduate programs if they have any connection to China’s various military schools.

The report also highlights the Trump administration’s Operation Warp Speed vaccine program, which aims at releasing a widely-available coronavirus vaccine to the public by March 2021. Vaccine development is traditionally a years-long process, but a working COVID-19 vaccine is expected to be available in at least some capacity within 18 months of the U.S. medical industry turning its attention toward the virus in February 2020.

“Over the past four years, President Trump’s policies and investments in science and technology ensure America stands ready to solve today’s most pressing challenges and that our workforce is prepared for tomorrow’s innovations,” Advisor to the President Ivanka Trump told the Daily Caller. “For years to come, these achievements will guarantee the United States remains the world’s leader in research, discovery and the advancement of industries that will shape our future.”

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
