Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Rylan Barton. The White House says President Trump does not

proposed order, not enforcing those state laws would be a condition of receiving federal funding

for broadband investments, and the Justice Department would be a condition of receiving federal funding for broadband investments,

and the Justice Department would be instructed to sue states over the laws.

The push is being led by AI and cryptos are David Sachs, a billionaire tech investor who is

leading the White House's policy on AI.

interfering with the
