For anyone interested, the most powerful one is in Romania at the Extreme Light Infrastructure (ELI) in Măgurele. It's about 10 petawatts.

In that case, the titles claim is false, right?

No. Maybe slightly ambiguous, but I immediately read the title as "most powerful laser in the US".

The title can be interpreted as "there's a new laser that is now America's most powerful"
