Behind Closed Doors: Former CIA Officer Buck Sexton Reveals “Manhattan II”
Exclusive Interview Reveals the Hidden Meetings, Insider Briefings, and Urgent National Security Push Behind an estimated Multi-Trillion-Dollar “Manhattan II” Initiative
Washington, D.C., Oct. 31, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- In a new interview, former CIA officer Buck Sexton is pulling back the curtain on what he calls “Manhattan II” —an estimated $2.2 trillion Artificial Superintelligence (ASI) initiative that could redefine America’s global power.
Sexton, a national security expert who once personally briefed President George W. Bush during the Iraq War, says the operation began as a tightly guarded effort among Trump’s most trusted insiders. These discussions, he explains, weren’t just about advancing technology — they were about preventing the United States from falling behind in what he calls “the new global arms race.”
“Trump and his closest insiders were holding closed-door meetings… laying the groundwork for a bold new initiative,” Sexton said.
Inside Trump’s AI War Room?
Long before the public knew of the project, Sexton says, Trump’s cabinet was already exchanging intelligence, reviewing threat briefings, and coordinating with top AI experts. He describes a network of top officials including Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and investor David Sacks — all unified by a single objective: restoring U.S. control of Artificial Superintelligence.
From his unique vantage point, Sexton describes the atmosphere as “wartime planning.” Each briefing, he says, underscored how far China had advanced and how little time America had to respond.
The Birth of “Manhattan II”
According to Sexton, the official turning point came the moment President Trump tore down Executive Order 14110, reversing what he calls the “costliest bad decision in U.S. history.”
“On literally day one of his new term… Trump ripped Biden’s Executive Order 14110 to shreds… and launched his own new one.”
That order, he says, immediately removed the regulatory barriers that had crippled America’s AI sector — giving rise to “Manhattan II,” a project expected to channel an estimated $2.2 trillion into AI infrastructure, semiconductor production, national defense, and energy innovation.”
The Stakes: America’s Last Chance to Lead
Sexton warns that the competition isn’t theoretical — it’s already in motion. Intelligence from his contacts suggests that China is producing more AI-powered drones than any nation in history, giving it the ability to dominate both the battlefield and the global economy.
“China has the capacity to build 500,000 of these AI-powered drones per month. Some reports suggest they already have over a million of them.”
Sexton says “Manhattan II” represents not just an economic strategy, but America’s last real opportunity to remain the dominant force in global defense and technology.
“This new AI race is our last chance to reclaim it. To put America back in the lead. To build our future, not give it away… or beg for it.”
