U.S. President Trump is set to introduce new set of AI policies, including issuing a new executive order to limit states from implementing their own AI rules and creating a single federal standard.

Trump said on Monday, December 8, 2025, that he would sign an executive order this week and would create a single national rule for artificial intelligence AI, which according to the industry, is necessary to override disparate laws passed by U.S. states.

The move would deliver a win for Big Tech companies that have cultivated close relationships with the White House and likely draw consternation from both Democratic and Republican state leaders who have said they need the ability to protect state residents.

"There must be only ‘One Rulebook’ if we are going to continue to lead in AI... I will be doing a ONE RULE Executive Order this week. You can’t expect a company to get 50 approvals every time they want to do something," Trump said in a post on his social media site, Truth Social.

As reported by Reuters, Trump did not provide details that the U.S. President was considering an executive order last week, and would seek to preempt state laws on AI through lawsuits and by withholding federal funding.

Moreover, ChatGPT’s OpenAI, Alphabet’s Google, Meta Platforms, and venture capital firm Andreesen Horowitz have called for national AI standards instead of a 50-state patchwork of laws, saying the laws stifle innovation.

The companies argue that the U.S. will fall behind China on AI development if states are allowed to regulate the technology.

While state leaders from both major parties have stressed the need for AI guardrails.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, a Republican, introduced legislation last week and said he would create an AI bill of rights, including data privacy, parental controls, and consumer protections.

Other states have passed laws prohibiting the use of AI to create nonconsensual sexual imagery, banning unauthorized political deepfakes, and seeking to prevent AI from being used to discriminate. California, home to several major AI companies, will require major developers to explain plans to mitigate potential catastrophic risks.

"Congress can’t fail to create real safeguards and then block the states from stepping up," North Carolina Attorney General Jeff Jackson, a Democrat, said at the time.

The Senate voted 99-1 against an effort to block AI laws this year after pushback from state leaders and consumer groups.

Trump said that letting each state coming-up with its own regulations, would be detrimental to the development of AI technology.

He expressed his concerns on Truth Social about the regulatory challenges of Artificial Intelligence AI stating that “AI WILL BE DESTROYED IN ITS INFANCY!," and " You can’t expect a company to get 50 Approvals every time they want to do something. THAT WILL NEVER WORK!"

According to USA Today, Trump aims to establish a federal framework for AI regulation to help the U.S. maintain its lead in the technology sector.
