Trump: AI Data Centers May Be More Important Than Oil

BlockBeats News, August 7th, in an interview with Punchbowl News, U.S. President Trump stated, "A few days ago, I saw that Texas seems to be against the construction of data centers. I think this is a mistake. I'm not really taking sides—I just think it's a mistake because there are other communities that want to build data centers. When a community is willing to host a data center, it means a large amount of capital will flow into that community. I don't think they are unsightly. Some of the data centers I've seen are the most incredible buildings I've ever seen. They are very important to the economy. If Texas says 'no' to data centers, that is a mistake because data centers may be more important than oil."
