Well a majority of Americans support more regulation of AI, and support a ban on AI smarter than humans. Politicians do need voters to get reelected in the US.
There's also variety of laws that can be passed, some that don't directly threaten as much of AI progress, which the moneyed interests might be less hostile to, such as liability for AI companies, evaluations of social/environmental impact of ai, pauses on certain kinds of development, etc. It doesn't have to be all or nothing, and there's wide support among constituents for doing something.
On the question of what different countries will do, China and the EU already have more AI regulation in place than the United States, imposed unilaterally. With an international treaty to regulate ai, by the definition of a treaty all parties are bound by it so no party gets to advance ahead of the others.
