Trump supports AI data centers, stating they will create a large number of jobs and tax revenue

According to Fox News, U.S. President Trump earlier stated that any governor or local government official should welcome the construction of artificial intelligence (AI) data centers. Trump said, "This will create a large number of jobs in the construction industry. We are building the largest factories in the world. I can say that if I were a mayor of a city or a governor of a state, and I had the opportunity to bring a large AI factory or data center to my area, I would absolutely want it to happen because it can create a large number of jobs, and the funding and tax revenue it brings are very considerable." Trump also stated that, given that most Americans oppose the construction of data centers in their communities, the AI industry needs to gain "a little help in public relations."
