According to CoinMeta, Trump previously stated that any governor or local government official should welcome the construction of artificial intelligence (AI) data centers. He pointed out that this would create a large number of jobs in the construction industry and bring considerable funding and tax revenue. He emphasized that if he were the mayor of a city or the governor of a state, he would certainly want large AI factories or data centers to be established there. Trump also mentioned that, given that most Americans oppose the construction of data centers in their communities, the AI industry needs to get “a bit of help with public relations.”
