OpenAI eyes US government equity stake as it angles for truce with the Trump administration

Desk note: Monexus has framed this as a political-economy story, the equity stake as a bargained concession, not as a philanthropic gesture, and has given roughly equal weight to the Washington and Beijing strategic-policy frames, which the wire coverage largely omits.
