The Trump Administration introduced a new Artificial Intelligence Action Plan aimed at securing U.S. leadership in AI. The plan emphasizes reducing regulatory barriers, streamlining data centers and energy infrastructure permits, and AI technology globally.
President Trump declared, "America is the country that started the AI race and as President of the United States, I'm here today to declare that America is going to WIN it."
The policy is centered on three fronts: deregulation, infrastructure development, and the export of U.S. AI systems worldwide. Chinese control over international AI control supports American standards.
The plan states, “The United States must meet global demand for AI by exporting its full AI technology stack hardware, models, software, applications, and standards to all countries willing to join America’s AI alliance. A failure to meet this demand would be an unforced error, causing these countries to turn to our rivals.”
Palantir, a Denver-based firm, welcomed this initiative by saying, “AI is the birthright of the country that harnessed the atom and put a man on the moon. With today’s AI Action Plan, the Trump Administration has written the source code for the next American century.”

Net Choice, representing Meta, Amazon, and Google, added, “Net Choice applauds the White House’s AI Action Plan overall and is encouraged to see the focus on red tape reduction and investment in America’s future.”
Caleb Withers from CNAS noted, “I don't envy the civil servants operationalizing this: ideological bias can be in the eye of the beholder, and First Amendment considerations may complicate things.” Vivek Chilukuri, also from CNAS, advised that “There's a tension between publicly calling for ‘dominance’ and seeking to ‘ensure our allies are building on American technology.”
The plan’s push for dominance may strain international partnerships, as allies worry about over-reliance on U.S. technology. Chilukuri emphasized, “Partnerships that pull foreign capitals into America's orbit and strike a balance between protecting their sovereignty and sensitive US technology will be more effective than expecting outright dependence.”
