Trump says he will sign 'ONE RULE' executive order to block state-level AI regulations

President Donald Trump said he will sign a 'ONE RULE' executive order this week to establish a single federal approval framework for artificial intelligence, preempting individual U.S. state AI laws that he argues threaten innovation. The move, backed by major AI firms and investors, would bar states from enforcing their own AI safeguards and is already drawing sharp criticism from state officials and lawmakers who warn it could undercut consumer protections and invite legal challenges.
