Trump’s last-minute AI order switch exposes White House divides
After ushering tech leaders to the White House for a signing ceremony Thursday, Trump’s eleventh-hour decision to scrap the order displayed his administration’s struggle to land on a unified AI stance as Silicon Valley holds sway at the top. Trump told reporters Thursday he “didn’t like certain aspects” of the order, expressing concerns over how it could hinder the U.S. in its race with China to dominate AI development. The president reportedly reversed course after speaking with industry leaders, including former White House AI and cryptocurrency czar, David Sacks, who favors a more hands-off approach.
