Trump argues that a single, nationwide &#8220;one rulebook&#8221; is necessary to maintain U.S. leadership in AI and prevent a patchwork of 50 different state regulations that could hinder innovation and competitiveness against countries like China.<\/p>\n<p>This move follows his earlier, unsuccessful attempt to include a ban on state AI laws in the National Defense Authorization act, which <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/pennsylvania-governor-caves-to-teachers-union-on-school-choice\/\" title=\"PA Governor yields to teachers union on school choice.\">faced strong resistance<\/a> from lawmakers concerned about states&#8217; rights and the need for local regulation to protect citizens. Critics, including experts from the Centre for Democracy and Technology, emphasize that Congress holds the power to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/texas-ag-sues-biden-admin-for-trying-to-force-abortions-in-state\/\" title=\"Texas AG Sues Biden Admin For Trying To Force Abortions In ...\">preempt state laws<\/a> and that states play a crucial role in addressing AI-related risks.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, figures like Steven Bannon have expressed fears that AI poses important threats to jobs and society, calling it a dangerous technology driven by an out-of-control tech elite. In contrast, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has introduced his own state-level AI regulations, focusing on protecting data and preventing misuse of individuals&#8217; likenesses, directly opposing Trump&#8217;s push for a moratorium on state AI laws.<\/p>\n<p>Supporters of trump&#8217;s national approach argue that AI regulation resembles previous battles over data privacy and emission standards, where inconsistent state rules intricate industry compliance and innovation. They contend that a federal executive order would provide clear, consistent guidelines essential for the progress and safe deployment of AI technologies, ensuring the United States stays competitive in this rapidly evolving sector.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Trump pushes through on national AI order despite GOP resistance<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2372221\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>President <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\/\">Donald Trump<\/a> is moving forward with a &ldquo;one rule&rdquo; <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/executive-order\/\">executive order<\/a> on <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/artificial-intelligence\/\">artificial intelligence<\/a>, despite hesitation from <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/maga\/\">MAGA<\/a> supporters skeptical of the negative impacts it could have.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;There must be only One Rulebook if we are going to continue to lead in AI,&rdquo; Trump <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/truthsocial.com\/@realDonaldTrump\/posts\/115684148454828379\">wrote on Truth Social<\/a> on Monday, teasing the future executive order. &ldquo;We are beating ALL COUNTRIES at this point in the race, but that won&rsquo;t last long if we are going to have 50 States, many of them bad actors, involved in RULES and the APPROVAL PROCESS.&rdquo; <\/p>\n<div class=\"recommended-stories\">\n<h2>Recommended Stories<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/3910567\/trump-administration-persists-franklin-the-turtle-social-media\/\">Trump administration persists with Franklin the Turtle social media campaign<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/3910695\/watch-live-trump-roundtable-12-billion-dollar-farm-aid-plan\/\">WATCH LIVE: Trump holds roundtable on $12 billion farm aid plan<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/3910271\/trump-urged-keep-up-campaign-europe-extraterritorial-esg-mandates\/\">Trump urged to keep up campaign on Europe&#8217;s extraterritorial ESG mandates<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>&ldquo;I will be doing a ONE RULE Executive Order this week.

State lawmakers have an important role to play in protecting their constituents from AI systems that are untrustworthy or unaccountable. They should remain steadfast in responding to the real and documented harms of these systems.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Lawmakers claimed that banning state laws on AI is akin to capitulating to the technology industry at the expense of states&rsquo; rights. But Trump has argued that individual laws at the state level will hamper the nation&rsquo;s ability to compete with China for dominance in AI.<\/p>\n<p>The ban on state AI laws was also stripped from the Trump administration&rsquo;s omnibus bill in a 99-1 vote after Sen.&nbsp;<a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/ted-cruz\/\">Ted Cruz<\/a>&nbsp;(R-TX), the chairman of the Commerce Committee, backed the proposal. <\/p>\n<p>AI is one of the fastest-growing industries in the U.S. that will help propel an economy that has many Americans worried about their financial future.<\/p>\n<p>Some of Trump&rsquo;s most ardent supporters have publicly expressed their opposition to AI, including Steven Bannon, the host of the influential &ldquo;War Room&rdquo; podcast, who has argued that it will decimate jobs that benefit the working class.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/policy\/technology\/3908559\/desantis-ai-regulation-proposal-trump-warns-states-defer-authorities\/\">DESANTIS ROLLS OUT AI REGULATION PROPOSAL AS TRUMP WARNS STATES TO DEFER TO AUTHORITIES<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Bannon described AI as &ldquo;the most dangerous technology in the history of mankind&rdquo; on his podcast last month.

The proposal prohibits any state or local government agency from utilizing DeepSeek or any other Chinese-created AI tools to protect American data, including &ldquo;deep fakes&rdquo; protections, and bans the use of an individual&rsquo;s name, image, and likeness without their consent.<\/p>\n<p>The &ldquo;AI Bill of Rights&rdquo; is headed to the Florida Legislature, which starts its next session on Jan. 13, 2026, but could be superseded by a future executive order from Trump.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">I oppose stripping Florida of our ability to legislate in the best interest of the people.<\/p>\n<p>A ten year AI moratorium bans state regulation of AI, which would prevent FL from enacting important protections for individuals, children and families. <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/Gxc9tCHsMz\">https:\/\/t.co\/Gxc9tCHsMz<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Ron DeSantis (@RonDeSantis) <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RonDeSantis\/status\/1996630484512821505?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 4, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script data-cfasync=\"false\" src=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/cdn-cgi\/scripts\/5c5dd728\/cloudflare-static\/email-decode.min.js\"><\/script><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script> <\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>The White House did not elaborate on the <em>Washington Examiner<\/em>&lsquo;s request for exact details of what Trump&rsquo;s AI order would encompass.  <\/p>\n<p>But Gregg Keller, a Republican strategist, claimed that if AI constitutes interstate commerce, then it is within Trump&rsquo;s prerogative to weigh in on the issue. <\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Obviously, I think everyone would agree that AI constitutes interstate commerce. So I think the president is probably on pretty solid ground there,&rdquo; said Keller, who compared the AI fight to previous data privacy battles. <\/p>\n<p>Conservatives pushed for a national standard for data, but instead, states such as deep-blue California passed their own data privacy frameworks. Trump &ldquo;wants the American industry to have one predictable set of rules to adhere to, rather than a patchwork that&rsquo;s going to be driven by states like California that lead to 50 different sets of AI rules and regulations,&rdquo; Keller said.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Particularly in politics, nature abhors a vacuum, and if the federal government does not take the lead and come up with one set of AI regulations for the country, then you&rsquo;re going to see 50 different states jump into it,&rdquo; he added.<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, Ford O&rsquo;Connell, a GOP strategist, claimed that an AI executive order was necessary as the industry is nascent and should be somewhat regulated.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;This makes a lot of sense because it is the wild west of AI right now all over the world,&rdquo; O&rsquo;Connell said. &ldquo;America is trying to take the lead and certainly cement itself ahead of China, and that&rsquo;s going to require a lot of different infrastructure, a lot of different investment.&rdquo; <\/p>\n<p>He compared the battle to the issue over vehicle emissions standards, where California set standards that are far stricter than the rest of the nation. &ldquo;California had a very different rule than the federal government, than everybody else, and it basically was changing how the entire automobile was going to be made,&rdquo; he said. <\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Being on the wild west of the cusp of [AI executive order], this is the right way to go,&rdquo; O&rsquo;Connell added to avoid creating more problems in the future.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Trump advances national AI order despite GOP opposition<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2658,"featured_media":2518874,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Donald-Trump-crypto-AI.webp?w=696","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[33651],"tags":[51738,32911,3634],"class_list":["post-2518873","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-western-journal","tag-ai-2","tag-executive-order","tag-trump"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Donald-Trump-crypto-AI.webp?w=696","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2518873","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2658"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2518873"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2518873\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2518877,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2518873\/revisions\/2518877"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2518874"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2518873"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2518873"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2518873"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
