US President Donald Trump has defended the expansion of data centers in the country, calling them a key to prosperity for communities. He criticized the growing movement against them, saying it would only benefit China in the race for artificial intelligence leadership. Trump claimed that opposing data centers would lead to communities being "left behind and poor". The data center industry is expected to see a massive investment of over $750 billion from tech giants like Amazon, Microsoft, and Google in 2026.
