President Donald Trump has unveiled a sweeping national Artificial Intelligence (AI) strategy on Wednesday, signing three executive orders aimed at securing U.S. dominance in the global AI race by accelerating innovation, cutting red tape, and easing regulations on critical data infrastructure.
Speaking at a summit with tech and government leaders in Washington, Trump emphasized that U.S. tech firms must "put America first," promising to reshape domestic conditions to favour rapid AI development.
“My administration will use every tool to ensure the United States builds and maintains the most powerful AI infrastructure on the planet,” Trump stated, outlining plans for new data centres, semiconductor manufacturing, and energy facilities — all implemented with "certainty" and environmental oversight.
The orders aim to speed up permitting for AI data centres, promote the global export of U.S. AI models, and ensure ideological neutrality in government-supported AI technologies.
Just before signing, the White House revealed Trump’s broader “Winning the Race: America’s AI Action Plan.”
The strategy lays out a three-pillar approach - boosting domestic AI innovation, constructing expansive infrastructure, and leveraging diplomacy to counter rivals such as China.
The document describes AI supremacy as a national security imperative and opposes 'radical climate dogma' seen as obstructive to growth.
Formulated by top officials including AI and Crypto Czar David Sacks and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, the plan underscores Washington’s intent to dominate the future of technology.
“Winning the AI race is non-negotiable,” Rubio affirmed, calling the policy a framework to ensure American tech remains the global gold standard.
