U.S. President Donald Trump said governors and local officials should welcome the construction of artificial intelligence data centers. Speaking to Fox News, Trump argued that these projects would generate a large number of construction jobs and bring substantial money and tax revenue to cities and states. He also said the AI industry needs “a little bit of PR help,” noting that most Americans do not want data centers built in their neighborhoods.

U.S. President Donald Trump said governors and local officials should welcome the construction of artificial intelligence (AI) data centers.

Speaking to Fox News, Trump said the projects would create a large number of construction jobs. He also said the U.S. is building some of the largest factories in the world.

“I can say that if I were a city mayor or a state governor and I had the chance to bring in a big AI factory or data center, I would absolutely want it there because it would create a lot of jobs and bring in very substantial money and tax revenue,” Trump said.

Trump also said the AI industry needs “a little bit of PR help” because most Americans oppose having data centers built in their own communities.
