President Trump recently claimed that the country possesses weapons nobody has any idea about

The US possesses technology that can "manipulate" and "bend time and space," White House innovation czar Michael Kratsios has claimed.

Kratsios delivered the remarks at the Endless Frontiers Retreat in Austin, Texas, just weeks after being confirmed as director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy.

He emphasized President Donald Trump's ambition to usher in a new "golden age of America," which includes fostering scientific research and the application of cutting-edge technologies. According to Kratsios, the US can emerge as a global leader by making "smart choices" regarding public funding and deregulating innovation.

"Our technologies permit us to manipulate time and space. They leave distance annihilated, cause things to grow, and improve productivity," he stated, without elaborating. Later in his speech, Kratsios insisted that overcoming the "sclerosis of the state" would enable Americans to achieve "scientific discoveries that will bend time and space, make more with less, and drive us further into the endless frontier."

Trump himself has recently alluded to advanced technologies not yet revealed to the public. Last week, he claimed China would hesitate to escalate trade tensions with the US partly due to the existence of secret weapons in the American arsenal.

"We have weaponry that nobody has any idea what it is, and it is the most powerful weapons in the world that we have. More powerful than anybody even, not even close," he told journalists in the Oval Office.

In March, Trump announced the development of a sixth-generation fighter jet, which he described as "the most lethal aircraft ever built." Boeing was awarded the contract for the project, he noted.
