President Donald Trump abruptly postponed a planned executive order on artificial intelligence on Thursday, saying he "didn't like certain aspects" of the measure and feared it could slow the United States in its race against China.
The signing ceremony had been scheduled for Thursday afternoon with technology executives expected at the White House, but Trump told reporters in the Oval Office that he made the decision after reviewing the order's language. "I think it gets in the way of, you know, we're leading China, we're leading everybody, and I don't want to do anything that's going to get in the way of that lead," Trump said.
